Crafting the Chapter Book
Acclaimed author Marcie Colleen will introduce you to the world of chapter books and take you through the steps to create your own series that kids will love! REGISTER EARLY as previous offerings of this class have SOLD OUT. Through studying successful chapter books on the shelf today, the focus of this course will be on the nuts and bolts of shaping your concepts into entertaining, engaging, and salable titles. This course will have a workshop/critique component as well as weekly lectures and exercises to help build craft. We will also make time each week to discuss the chapter books we’re reading and/or want to recommend to the class. By the end of this course you will have a better grasp of how to take an idea through the complete process of creating a fully-formed, three-dimensional chapter book manuscript and series. |

The Heart and Humor of Amy Krouse Rosenthal: Using AKR's Body of Work to Enhance Our Own
We all know and love the work of author Amy Krouse Rosenthal (Spoon, I Wish You More, Dear Girl, Little Pea and more) and while her life may have ended way too soon, her catalog of creative works lives on to inspire. Can we create like Amy–Bravely? Humorously? With heart? How can we shape our days and nights doing our best work? In this 6-week class, award-winning children’s author Marcie Colleen (Love, Triangle and Penguinaut!), will guide writers through a deep dive into Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s body of work: her many children’s books, adult memoirs, TED Talks, films, and projects to connect with Amy’s clever wit and love-affirming spirit and bring our own talents, inspired by Amy’s, to the page. |
