How exciting!<br /><br />Although I don't write picture books, your post has encouraged me because authors of other books have to let control of so many factors in the publishing process as well--title, cover, and so on.

Maybe Marcie needs to throw in a post from the other side of the coin and do a post from an author/illustrator. It would definitely be interesting to hear about the process from that perspective.
