Peter Brown Visiting Author


The most interest thing I learned today was how much editing and revising it takes to make one book, and how important word choice is.
Questions I would like to ask him are:
  • How old were you when you decided that you wanted to be and author and illustrator?
  • How long does it normally take you to write, and illustrate one book?
  • How long does it normally take to publish a book?
  • What book are you most proud of?
  • Have you ever written or illustrated an adults book?
  • Who's your biggest inspiration? 
Other books.
  • What is your favorite place you traveled?
  • What was the year of when you wrote your first book?

I learned that every single word makes a difference, and is crucial. I learned that in stories, your first draft is never your last. I also learned that you should really take your time to plan out your story.
