Fine. On "Editions Autrement" letterhead, it reads in part: "This series has been designed to open a creative space. It gathers stories made only with pictures, and invented and created by illustrators in their different styles of writing (graphics, narration). Each illustrator has his/her own way of telling stories, of developing characters throughout the book, and also of making unique use of the given space in the book. This collection aims to present a large range of styles and techniques (painting, engraving, drawing, etc.) and to show diversity and high quality of illustration.... We would be so delighted if you could imagine a story that could take place in this series. We are sure that your innovative and individual style would produce funny, poetic, original or fascinating story. I sincerely hope that it will be possible for us to work together in the near future...."
