Sharing some key steps in the process of putting together a pitch, some of the 'behind the scenes' work that doesn't appear in the final pitch but helps me to flesh out my idea as much as possible without actually writing it!

I pitched Sky Dancers to several publishers, and it found its perfect home with Oxford University Press' wonderful Readerful series! It is illustrated by Chiara Fedele, whose stunning art perfectly captures the gritty atmosphere and expansive skies of late-1800s New York.

My starting point as a science and nature writer for young audiences

What next? Begin with the topic you know best - yourself!

Immerse yourself in nature (this was our mock-up in the Domestika studios!)

I'm not an artist, but I do plan my picture books visually

Mocking up an idea for page turns

I shared this with the book's illustrator Chiara Fedele

See below for her version of the growing flock against the changing cityscape

All you need to pitch is a Word doc or a Google doc
