Hey publishing folks, I need your attention for a moment. Abelle is literally one of the most talented folks I’ve come across on here. Not only are they’re the founder of #drawingwhileblack which has helped many of us shine, but they’re also mean with a pencil.

I get offers of work at least twice a month from publishers so I know there’s work out there for someone of their talent during this pandemic. They’ve been trying to break into Children’s books for some time and to be frank I’m surprised folks aren’t fighting over their talent.
