Interview with Josh Funk | Writing for Children 156

INTERVIEW WITH JOSH FUNK Josh Funk writes silly stories and somehow tricks people into publishing them as books—such as the Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast series and How to Code a Sandcastle. Josh is also known for his expertise in social media, building an author platform before he was published, and connecting with the writing (and reading) community. We discuss: where to find Josh online. how he built his author platform. what he finds most effective. why you need a platform before you have a published book. what to put on your website if you don't have a book published yet!   Join the Institute of Children's Literature Community!
