The Challenges of Book #2: Travis Jonker on BLUE FLOATS AWAY
Travis: Today’s episode is a little different – I talk about the path to publishing Blue Floats Away, illustrated by Grant Snider.
The episode is also about the challenges of publishing a second book, and how a 2016 interview with Dav Pilkey helped to give me some perspective on the process.
We hope you enjoy the episode.
