Description

The average picture book is only 600 words. How hard can that be to write?! This question leads a lot of aspiring authors down the road of the picture book. While picture books are easy and fun to read—they can be extremely challenging to write well! Join me on an exploration of this amazing, engaging, and colorful category of children’s books. I edit hundreds of picture book projects each year, and have insights on them from a craft perspective, as well as my time as a children’s book literary agent.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginning to advanced writers for children who want to hone their craft.
