Shortly after its publication, she sold the literary agency and returned to New York.  Since then she’s published seven novels, most recently Suspicion and Hindsight (Simon & Schuster), and co-authored two non-fiction books. Her latest novel, A Dangerous Fiction, will be published in 2013 by Viking/Penguin. Barbara’s books have been translated into six languages, featured by all the major book clubs, optioned for movie and television and issued as audio books. She has taught fiction writing at Hofstra University and SUNY, and currently teaches online for Writers Digest and in her own school, Next Level Workshops.  She lectures widely on both the business and craft of writing and teaches seminars and master classes at writers’ conferences, including the Surrey Writers’ Conference in Vancouver.Her wesites are  - barbararogan.com- nextlevelworkshop.com

The Comeback of 2D Animation: Why We’re Craving Realness Again

There’s something happening in animation right now that’s worth paying attention to—not because it’s simply nostalgic, but because it’s deeply human. As someone who works in the mental health and creative storytelling space, I can’t help but see these conversations about art, AI, and hand-drawn storytelling as part of a bigger theme: our collective hunger for authenticity. We live in a time where AI-generated content is everywhere—convenient, efficient, and often soulless. It’s not surprising that artists and audiences alike are looking back toward something that feels more tactile, more imperfect, more human. That brings us to 2D animation, an art form that has shaped generations and now, it seems, might just be making a comeback. Here’s what Language of the Soul podcast host, Dominick Domingo, had to say on this trend: There’s been a lot of industry talk lately speculating about 2D/traditional ANIMATION making a comeback. Recent articles confirm that although Disney has not greenlit...

Five Tips for a More Marketable Children’s Picture Book Manuscript by Mayra Calvani

The world of children’s picture book publishing is extremely competitive. If you’re an aspiring children’s author, you need to make sure your manuscript is in excellent shape and has all the elements editors and agents look for before you begin the submission process. Here are five tips to make your picture book manuscript more marketable: Start right with the problem.  Many times beginner writers begin a picture book with back-story. It’s okay to have this back-story in the first draft, but be sure to get rid of it when you edit. Back-story is unnecessary 90% of the time and it only serves to slow down the beginning of a story, making it weaker. You want to grab the reader right from the start. So don’t be afraid to begin your story at the heart of the problem. It’s okay to set the stage with a sentence or two—but no more! Have a protagonist readers can relate to.
