NOW ENROLLING

Award-winning children's author Rosie J. Pova will cover the essential elements and steps in the process, from generating story ideas to finishing a first draft, picking a catchy title, to revising and submitting.

Picture books are a very particular format of children's writing because, besides being very short, they work with illustrations to complement the text and therefore require understanding of the particular rules that apply to them. This course will explore the classic picture book structure and provide a breakdown on crafting a story, including all must-have elements. In addition, it will offer an overview of other most common structures. This is a hands-on, interactive, and highly productive course that will guide you from idea to finished draft, revision and polishing, and weigh in options on moving forward with your work toward publication.

Furthermore, the course will address the following questions as you work on creating your picture book: What to do and what to avoid in the process? Most common mistakes that keep you from moving forward in your writing journey. What is most likely to grab an agent's or editor's attention in today's picture book market? How to get up-to-date on the current market and how to write for today's audience?

By the end of this course, you'll get a clear idea on where to start, what to do and in what order, helping you advance your writing, understand the craft and business of children's publishing better, and move closer to your goals. (Applies to traditional publishing, not self-publishing.)
