Jen Gubicza

Hello agents, editors & art directors! I’m Jen Gubicza (rhymes with pizza) a designer, toy maker, author & illustrator looking to break into children’s publishing. I’ll be at the Bologna book fair this March - I’d love to meet you! #KidLitArtPostcard

@roselihou So cute! Congrats on the article!

Loved chatting with Armadillo Magazine about the Tiny Dogs series, and how my own mini urban garden inspired me🪴 Here are my top tips for encouraging wildlife: armadillomagazine.co.uk/single-post/a-…

I’m now representing @JenGubicza and couldn’t be more excited! Jen’s unique style of combining stop-motion puppet photography and 2D illustration is so freaking cool, and her story ideas are magical, dark, and delightfully goofy. Can’t wait to get started!!

@BrianLaRossa Hi Brian! Kidlit author/illustrator here working with real stop-motion puppets. I’d love an invite. Thanks for checking out my work!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day. My name is Mark Hoffmann and I’m a kidlit author/illustrator. I am rep’d by Jenn Laughran (@literaticat) with @andreabrownlit. Who was your hero growing up? Someone you wanted to be? This little mouse wants to be sailing the seas. (1 of 2) ⬇️

Hello I’m Adam Ming. I make witty and energetic illustrations with a comic sensibility. What I mean by comic sensibility is humor, timing, pacing and layout ideas that come from spending my youth inside comic books. Comics have a visual language that translate very nicely to any other form of visual narrative. So if you have a funny story or a hero’s journey to tell, I can help you tell it! I’m represented by the awesome @LydiaRSilver and you can find more of my on Adamming.com #kidlitartpostcard #kidlit #illustration #childrensbooks

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m Jen Gubicza (rhymes with pizza), a #kidlit author/illustrator working with real 3D puppets. Style recipe: 2 cups of charm, a tablespoon of weird & a dash of magic. More at: jengubicza.com or email jen@zooguu.com

When creating a picturebook dummy, aim to use clear sketches throughout & include three spreads of full-colour final art (early in the story).

#kidlitartpostcard Dear Commissioning Editor, As a child growing up in the city, a lot of my experience with nature was at the minute level, ants and touch-me-nota were two of my favorites. 👋 Hi, I’m Adam Ming, I make witty and energetic illustrations with a comic sensibility. I’m represented by @LydiaRSilver of @Illustration_da you can see more of my work at Adamming.com And I write about my journey and process in my newsletter: Adamming.com/newsletter And yes, I paid for a blue checkmark, I though of it as stamps to get this postcard to YOU! Do you have a project we can work on together? I’d love to hear from you! There are more links in the bio, talk soon? Best, Adam #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration #childrensillustration #picturebook

@mclairecruz Hi Mary! I’m an author/illustrator working in 2D digital and with physical 3D stop-motion puppets.

Lately feeling like I'm having trouble sourcing artists (esp unagented) that I can add to my mental rolodex and pitch for book projects. While I don't have a specific project in mind, I want to open my virtual door to artists looking to connect!

@JameelaWahlgren Amazing! Congratulations!

@byEllenSeal @KarlyDizon @FuseLiterary Congratulations!

I’m 🌟over the moon🌟 to announce that I’m officially represented by super star agent @KarlyDizon of @FuseLiterary! I can’t wait for the world to see what we’ll create together! 🌝 #amagented #kidlitart #WritingCommunity

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm Damjana, children's author-illustrator, looking to work on a fun and endearing picture book, MG or early GN. 📁loddelina.com Rep.: @lanewriteswords at @arthouselit 🌧️Don't mind the rain, get in touch!😊

Hi! I’m Jen Gubicza, rhymes with pizza. It’s #kidlitartpostcard day! Will this little witch ever address the elephant, I mean giant cat, in the room as her spell continues to grow out of control? Agents & editors: I’ve got a full pb manuscript for this project.

@stephcampisi Congratulations on being so fancy! 🎉✨

Great thread!

@AdamMingArt As a designer and toy maker, that was taking on projects I wasn’t really interested in just to get experience. That just built a portfolio of professional work I didn’t want more of. Keeping this in mind as I begin my illustration career.

#illustrator what early career mistake will you never make again? (Non illustrators can answer too ;)

@roselihou So cute!

This is worth spending your tweet ration on 👀

@LaurelSnyder Great thread! Lots to add to reading list. I see a few of my recent favorites already mentioned (Chez Bob, There’s a Ghost in this House, Mr. S) and I’ll add Gustavo the Shy Ghost & Leila the Perfect Witch by Flavia Z. Drago into the mix!
