How cool to get to go to a publishing company. And to live close enough to do it. Thanks for sharing about it.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Natalie. I wanted to wander around the offices to see what the editors were working on, but that information was classified.

Moleskin is a fabric that has an adhesive side that you can stick on things to keep them from irritating you skin. :)
DeleteYou mean somewhere there's a mole with no skin?
DeleteOh the horror!
Sincerely,
Sticky Irritant.
Sticky irritant? I think I was once married to that person. No silly, no horror, I had the doctor remove it.
DeleteSincerely,
Mole from the hole
I went to the website and its needs a lot of work. I wanted to see their middle grade and YA books and the same books that were listed in picture books kept coming up. The blog has good interviews.
ReplyDeleteI see that Chronicle publishes Ivy and Bean and How I stole Johnny Depp's Girlfriend. I'm also interested in the Pirate book of Plunder
I like getting these looks behind the curtain. Thanks for the pics and report!
ReplyDeleteWe aim to please.
