I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Tracy Blom to talk all things Turkey Trouble, along with my incredible partner-in-crime, illustrator Lee Harper!
If you’ve ever wondered how a book goes from my simple words to Lee’s hilarious illustrations, this interview is for you. We shared some fun secrets from our creative process:
💡 Our Best Advice for Young Creators
- For Writers (That’s Me!): I shared that my best advice is to love the revision process. No one gets it perfect the first time! Every single Turkey Trouble book was improved by going back and finding the strongest ideas.
- For Illustrators (That’s Lee!): Lee talked about the fun of creating Turkey’s over-the-top personality and encouraged aspiring artists to always draw what you love to develop your own unique style.
