From Idea to Manuscript: Crafting Your Picture Book

July 16 - September 3, 2024, Tuesdays, 5:00-7:00 p.m. (eight sessions)

$425

Have you ever wondered how to turn your brilliant idea into a captivating picture book? In this 8-week course, you’ll learn the art of crafting picture books that leave a lasting impression. We’ll explore the world of children’s literature, studying beloved classics and contemporary favorites, to inspire your creativity. Through engaging lessons and hands-on workshops, you’ll develop a picture book manuscript from concept to completion. By the end of the course, you’ll have a polished manuscript ready to submit to agents and publishers, along with a deep understanding of the picture book market and the tools to navigate it successfully.
