If you're really interested in publishing your texts, find publishers that call for texts and submit your work. I heartily wish you good luck. Regarding illustration, Editor is highly skilled to "match" a text and a suitable illustrator. Today, "self-publishing" is more available and accessable for people. <br />BTW, I'll submit colour currently done TOMORROW. Very busy, but a great joy. After sending work, I hope I can write a bit more about my work.

I have written a childrensstory with rime myself, but I haven´t come to the picturemaking yet, I probably never will! That´s why I think this is extra interresting for me to read about.
