On-Site Classes & Workshops for Adults

Past Classes:

April 8-June 10, 2020
Writing Children's Picture Books
In this course you'll learn about writing for children and you'll be asked to write and revise five or six picture book manuscripts. There will be an opportunity to read your work in class and to discuss and critique the work of other students. We will discuss the needs of the illustrator, how to approach potential publishers and the adventure of the manuscript once it's been accepted for publication.
