Class Description
Still wanting to realize your dream to write a children’s book? Anxious to learn what to do once you write it? This workshop introduces newcomers to today’s Children’s Book World and offers rules of the road and proven short cuts to make navigating doable and easier. Participants can share a work-in-progress in order to see its reader, format, and marketplace possibilities in today’s publishing world.
There will be an hour break for lunch.
