“Writing Picture Books – Intensive”

Online: Wednesdays, 6:30 – 9:00 p.m.
First readings emailed March 19.
Classes: March 26 – June 4 (or to June 18 if the course fills up. No class April 23 or June 11)

Note: See all the writing classes on offer this spring here.

This Intensive course will be organized like my other Intensive courses, but it’s for people writing picture books – though if you want to bring board books, early chapter books, a nonfiction proposal, or some other form of kid lit, we’re very easygoing. You’ll be asked to bring in several pieces of your writing for detailed feedback. This may be several separate picture book manuscripts or, possibly, just one, reworked several times. You bring whatever you want to work on. 

Besides critiquing pieces, we’ll have discussions and I’ll give short talks addressing the needs of the group. You’ll receive constructive suggestions about your writing, learn how to critique your own work, ands you’ll discover that the greatest benefits come from seeing how your classmates approach and critique a piece of writing and how they write and re-write.

I expect you’ll find this course extremely rewarding – and fun. After all, we’re working on picture books!

Fee: $292.04 + hst = $330
