Funny guy and Dream Boats author, Dan Bar-el, talks first books, handling rejection, favourite publishing moments, and banging his head against the wall in Taking The Publishing Plunge on the CWILL BC blog.

If you’re interested in more stories (and invaluable information) about how kids books authors and illustrators got their start in publishing and what they’ve learned along the way, there is a whole Publishing Plunge series created by the (also very funny) Tanya Kyi, that focuses on the publishing experiences of other CWILL BC members.
