ICYMI, I'm presenting at... Oktoberfest 2025: Recharge Your Creative Life Art by Miranda Lewis shows a cat following a girl with a bucket of fish Creating Amid Chaos: Juggling Parenting, Publishing, and Professional Responsibilities - Saturday, Oct 18, 2025: San Ramon, CA An author panel in which I (along with four other authors/illustrators) spill my guts about dayjobbing and parenting a small child and getting rejected constantly
Creating Amid Chaos: Juggling Parenting, Publishing, and Professional Responsibilities Panelists: Nicole Chen, Steph Lau, Sandra Salsbury, Seina Wedlick Moderator: Monica Wesolowska Families, careers, and publishing—oh my! Juggling all three can be an immense challenge, and as creatives, we’re supposed to maintain that spark of creativity at the same time life throws us lemons—or are we? In this panel discussion, five authors & illustrators will peel back their curtains and share personal stories and experiences around what’s worked for them (and what hasn’t!) as they manage family obligations, professional careers, and their own creative wells in pursuit of ambitious publishing goals.
I'll be presenting on my first author panel this year, at @scbwisfneb.bsky.social's Oktoberfest, along with some other local authors and illustrators!
The title of our panel is Creating Amid Chaos: Juggling Parenting, Publishing, and Professional Responsibilities
