Seminar Description
Eager to revise your current picture book manuscript for submission? This instructor-led workshop will provide you with the opportunity to share your manuscript with other writers and help you continue to hone your craft. Through constructive feedback and substantive revision, we will focus on employing key storytelling elements specific to the picture book format. By the time we’re done, you’ll be able to return to your stories and re-vision them with fresh eyes. Please note: this workshop is only for those who have previously taken a picture-book writing course and have a completed manuscript ready for revision.
Six sessions. Registration – $230
