When do we start working with Mappers?

Hey there Amy,

I believe writers should engage mappers and continuously work with them through week 4 - 10 of Writer’s Framework because that’s when Mapper starts workin on around the same thing which are the location of those places of buildings, and post offices and bla bla bla.. around week 4 for mappers too.. if they start at the same time as writer’s do.. Main thing to remember is, when you start your places to visit section.. that should be it I believe.. :)

hope this helps Amy :mrgreen:

Kian Cher,

You should work closely with the writer to come out with the artwork. Once the artwork done, you can submit to all together with the written guidebook.
