Quick tips

Interview with Zanni Louise on Children’s Books Daily by Megan Daley

“Create endlessly, whether it’s on a napkin, or on the wall of the shower. Creativity is a muscle, which needs work. The more you use it, the more that muscle develops. Next thing you know, you are dreaming in stories!

Also, be open to playing with ideas. The first idea is rarely the best, so keep playing until something emerges.”
