Question: You have this phenomenal idea for a picturebook story. You start writing. You get lost in your fanciful little world (which, by chance, looks a lot like Rackham's Wonderland) and get a bit carried away. "Picturebook" turns in to "almost chapter book, but not quite." An agent "loves" the language. You expand. You now have on your hands the workings of a chapter book with plenty of potential for becoming a fantastic middle grade novel.
But you intended to produce a picturebook all along.
What to do?
Peel away the skin and separate the pith from the juiciest bits? ..or leave it intact and ripen it all nice and plumpy?
Someone said "do both."
I am seeking professional help. Please.
