Want to be the next Julia Donaldson? Maurice Sendak? Neil Gaiman? Want to be in on the secrets of picture book writing?
Join us and we’ll show you how to structure a picture book, investigate how language and illustrations work together, and look for ways to make your characters memorable. This course is mainly for people who are new to picture book writing but everyone is welcome. You do not have to be able to draw!
