Middle Grade Author & Illustrator Derrick Chow and A Certain Amount of Quietude

<p>Middle Grade Author &amp; Illustrator Derrick Chow joins Queries, Qualms, &amp; Quirks this week to discuss how agent referrals aren&#39;t the end all, the courage it takes to show your work to another person for the first time, how an auction isn&#39;t all about the money, the joy of meeting young readers, all the distractions that come after a contract is signed, avoiding scammy publishers, and more.</p> <p>Derrick Chow is an author, illustrator, and comic creator. His short stories have been featured in several comic anthologies; and his illustrations appear in newspapers, magazines, and books across North America. His debut middle-grade horror novel, RAVENOUS THINGS, from Disney-Hyperion is out now.</p> <p>Derrick: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r8CmtZL5oGE_MCxisRwAVjt9dSH9y1iqDTC-I7A4iGw/edit?usp=sharing">Query</a> | <a href="http://derrickchow.ca">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/DerrickChow2">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/derrickchow.official/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/40iy4K1">Amazon</a> | <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1209/9781368077637">Bookshop</a> | <a href="https://libro.fm/referral?isbn=%209781368082495&rf_code=lfm164099">Libro FM</a></p> <p><a href="https://sarahnicolas.com/queries-qualms-quirks/">QQQ Home Base</a> |<a href="https://www.patreon.com/sarahnicolas"> Support on Patreon</a></p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZwAjJkbqzw6btKOmyAmj4-msi56OloRV/edit?usp=share_link&ouid=117960902139688351428&rtpof=true&sd=true">Read the full transcript.</a></p> <p>If links aren&#39;t clickable, find them here: <a href="https://bit.ly/qqqchow">https://bit.ly/qqqchow</a> </p> <p>This page includes affiliate links.
