the craft for years before they finally crack the
publishing nut.
Here are two people who recently made the Big Time
As in the
BIG APPLE and WINDY CITY
and amazing contact person.
A while back, Kevin illustrated a picture book for a newcomer to writing,
named B.J. Moesner. The book they created together was titled
"Monty The Traveling Cat." At first, their book was not so well received.
However, there is now one critic who will be hiding a red face.
WHY? Because their book won first place in the picture book section of the
2008 New York Book Festival.
Only authors and illustrators can appreciate this sort of revenge.
Mayra, along with a select number of lucky writers, is a G.A.P.
(Guardian Angel Publishing) author. G.A.P. authors love the way the
publisher uses such tender loving care on their books. So with this in
mind, Mayra put her considerable expertise to work on behalf of this
stable of talented writers. Her interviews, book reviews, and impressive
contacts have helped put GAP and its authors in an ever widening spotlight.
NOW it is Mayra's turn to be acclaimed. Her latest picture book, "Crash"
received a great review that finally made it to the BIG TIME newspapers.

And NO, I am not being paid by either one of the
above persons to write any of this.
Dear Margot,
You're so kind to say this! Thank you so much! It is really wonderful to have you on our time!
Thanks to you to for the time you spend promoting our work.
Best,
Mayra
Margot,
I'm on the CW list with you, and I'm always amazed at the path you're blazing through this publishing process. This blog is just one example. I love the way you're supporting your GAP team.
Congratulations on all that you are doing. Thanks for teaching a teacher~
