SPEAKERS:  Michael Hale, Children’s Book Author and Illustrator

George’s Curious History:  What I’ve learned about Monkeys in the publishing business.  Character driven picture books are a staple in children’s literature.  Some characters can become so beloved that they create legacies that last for generations.

Join Michael Hale as he uncovers the history, controversies, and marketing ploys that surround some of the literary characters and authors that we grew up with.

A look back at lessons learned and a reminder that when it comes to traditional publishing, business comes first.

Michael Hale has over 30 years’ experience as a Creative Director, entrepreneur, writer and illustrator.  He has illustrated many picture books and written two himself.  His book Bad Monkey Business was awarded a Spark Honor by SCBWI in 2018.  He also serves as the Illustrator Coordinator for SCBWI’s Arizona Region.  When he is not writing or illustrating, he devotes his time to coaching others looking to forge their own path in children’s publishing.  You can see more of his work by visiting:
