“How Writers Can Work With Artists on
Cooperative Projects”
Have you ever dreamed of writing a children’s book? Do you
have an important message you’d like to pass on to the next generation? Are you
curious about how to collaborate with an artist on a picture book? Matt Watier,
local freelance illustrator, will talk about how his creative process works,
where it intersects with writing, and how writers and artists can work together
from idea to print.
Watier graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia
in 2001, majoring in Illustration and Design. He has published two books. His
first published book ANTS: Another Nice Tasty Sweet was internationally
published in Hebrew and English. His second book Secret Magics of Maine won

Maine. Watier now works as a User Experience Designer in the Washington,
DC-metro region.
