Over the last few months one of the things we have constantly been asked for is a place for authors, illustrators, and editors to get together and collaborate. Everyone keeps asking for tools from us to do so. Well, we don't currently have any tools right on the Sharing Books website, or any plans to have those tools in the short term. But we DO have some places to point users to find collaborators.
The first place we suggest is JacketFlap. They have a huge community of users ( well over 10,000 ) from all around the globe, and it is a great place to find people and support to help you develop your work and your career as a children's book author.
We have also set up a new Facebook Group, so if you are on Facebook you can now connect with other authors and illustrators through our Facebook group. If you do not have a Facebook account, we highly recommend getting one, as it is a great tool to connect and promote your work to family, friends, and strangers!
If anyone out there has other collaborative websites add them to the comments here on our blog, and build out tools and sites to help your fellow authors, illustrators, and Sharing Books projects!
