Straight from the Page II

This book of mine has been in the works for years, but finally seems to be picking up some momentum. The story is coming together, and the illustrations are starting to come to life. I'm really enjoying this process and I hope you all are enjoying seeing it evolve as much as I am. Hopefully one day soon I will be able to introduce to you the story of "Allie Cat and her Army Brat". © 2009 Deb Dunkelberg

Broadening the Scope

After developing seasonal themed illustrations for timely postcard submissions to childrens magazine publishers, it dawned on me that maybe I should begin submitting to greeting card companies. After all, I sell some of my designs on my own handmade and home-printed greeting cards in my etsy shop, why not?

I've decided to not limit myself to only children's books and magazines. While this is still my ultimate goal, I recognize that there is a much wider market for my work than I imagined at first. What about giftware such as wrapping paper? What about rubber stamps? These illustrations have to come from somewhere - why not mine! So with that in mind, I've begun a new round of submissions to various companies, hoping that someone somewhere will fall in love with my work.
