The workshop will be based on her new book, Picture Book Perfection, an easy-to-consume resource for crafting stories for children ages 2 to 8. Some of the techniques covered include how to:
- Get started with your idea
- Know if you have a “good” story idea
- Craft characters kids can relate to
- Spin your narrative into a complete plot
- Successfully finish your manuscript and prepare it for publication
Whether you’re brand-new to children’s book writing, or have tried unsuccessfully to see your book in print before, this will show
you how to craft a story that will appeal to young readers, parents, agents, and editors.
