Salon
A RiverArts Salon is a (virtual) place to learn something new, share ideas, explore interesting topics, see and be seen, and have fun.
Tuesdays from 5 - 5:45, on Zoom
Chestertown-based author/illustrator duo Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr talk about collaboration, creative entrepreneurship, and their unlikely journey from independent publishers to emerging voices in the world of kid lit. Topics include self-publishing, graduate school, publishing software, work/life balance, creative process, writer’s block, making art in a pandemic, working with agents, breaking into Hollywood, and more!
To learn more about their work or watch their daily, 60-second videos, you can find them on YouTube (Robbi & Matthew) Instagram (@robbi.and.matthew), or Facebook (Robbi and Matthew)

Robbi and Matthew are the co-creators of the critically acclaimed illustrated mystery series The Real McCoys; the picture books Babies Ruin Everything, Everywhere Wonder, and Sunrise Summer (spring 2021); and the forthcoming Cookie Chronicles series (spring 2021)—in addition to 60 or so self-published books for children and adults. They spend their summers running a commercial salmon fishing operation on the Alaskan tundra and the rest of the year making books, visiting schools, speaking at conferences, and living in the hayloft of an old barn on Queen Street with their four kids.
