Writing Picture Books

Brought to you by Odyssey

Mondays, 6:30PM-8:15PM ET

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Have you always wanted to write picture books but don’t know where to start? Or perhaps you have written a manuscript or two but you’re not sure what to do next. Join “Writing Picture Books” to expand your knowledge of how to write and publish picture books. In this highly interactive class, we will build a community of writers and learners who support each other. Most classes will include both a seminar-style discussion of a picture-book writing concept and a workshop discussion of student writing. Each student will have at least one opportunity to present their work for critique. We will talk about fiction vs. non-fiction, rhyme, rhythm, structure, and paths to publication. While authors/illustrators are welcome, this class will focus mainly on the written elements of picture books.
