ABOUT ME
|
Hi, my name is Cory Shaw. I am an author and illustrator of books and book covers for children. I find illustration and storytelling inspiration through culture, folklore, and literature. My blog is full of writing and illustration tips to inspire you to create! In addition, I have an online shop where you can purchase books, prints, coloring pages, and more.
I am passionate about showing my work, sharing my process, and the steps that I take to accomplishing my goals. If you follow along, I can promise that you will learn from my successes and failures. The creation process is made better by learning to experience children’s literature both logically and emotionally. I can help you refine your taste in children’s literature and learn to study it critically. Sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss a thing, and you will receive a printable Picture Book Writing Cheat Sheet to use as a roadmap to revise your manuscript. Along with your free cheat sheet, you’ll get my latest news and updates, insider exclusives, freebies, plus writing/illustrating tips and book recommendations. |
Here is my official bio (you know the third person one!)
Cory Shaw is an author and illustrator developing a bond between children and nature through literature.
When he is not writing or painting, he spends most of his time thinking of ways to outfox a fox, finding the best hiding places along nature trails, and making bunnies scurry out from under the brush.
Cory makes his den in Salt Lake, UT, which he shares with three cubs and a mama bear. He gets writing advice from a Siberian Husky named Sasha and takes art lessons from a goldfish.
