Class Description

This instructor-led one-day workshopping opportunity in which writers share their manuscripts will help you continue to learn and hone your craft. Constructive feedback on one finished draft (up to five pages in length) focuses on the elements of story and the needs of both the picture book format and its audience of young readers. Writers will return to their stories, able to re-vision them with refreshed eyes.

Esther Hershenhorn authors picture books and middle grade fiction, coaches children’s book writers, and recently served on the Board of Advisors of The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
