On February 9th, The Story Slingers (a group of children’s book authors) met with students from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics who expressed interest in collaborating to illustrate and self-publish our stories.  After discussing the project, we read the three stories aloud and asked the students to choose which one they would like to illustrate.

After splitting into groups, we discussed storyboarding, physical development of primary and secondary characters, border and cover art.

We agreed to meet a month later and the students agreed to come to the meeting with a rough storyboard and rough sketches of their character. We were so excited to meet these students and were so impressed with their talent, professionalism and personalities. We can’t wait to see what meeting two produces!
