It’s easy to get lost when revising your manuscript for publishing consideration. But the required accompanying synopsis, pitch, and query letter can serve as your GPS for finding your way through the revision process! Hone these tools in this hands-on workshop to “recalculate” and take control, so you can fine-tune your manuscript. Agent/editor discovery resources are included. Open to children’s book writers of all formats and genres with a manuscript close to submission. Four sessions.

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