The Palooza was created to help former students get the word out about their fabulous books (which has been super-hard during the pandemic) while passing on their hard-earned knowledge in fresh innovative ways, make our many years of knowledge affordable to more creatives, and help fund scholarships for low income or diverse students to make a more just and wonderful world.

HOT OFF THE PRESSES! And now for our FAB Surprise! Random House’s Graphic imprint Publishing Director Gina Gaglione will be joining you live (and recorded) in the Graphic Novels panel. And FYI there are graphic novel style picture books that we’ll be talking about as well as part of this panel. Gina will also be looking at Palooza participant’s optimized pitches, bios and optional art samples. Wahoo! We are including Graphic Novels to demystify the process and open even more doors for you.
