Event Description

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!

Oooo! I like that too. And it's fun to say! It gets my vote because we are all scrawling and crawling together. Great. Now, let's do one :)

New suggestion that gives more equal billing to writers and drawers: ScrawlCrawl

Any good?

Not very complimentary about the poor 'scrawlers', but very neat.

I like it too- succinct and says it all - what we should all be aiming for!

Hey - a Sketchcrawlscrawl!

Well, my writing could certainly be described as a scrawl...

Creative challenge for you all (after all, you are writers...):

 

We need to come up with a new name for a sketchcrawl that also incorporates writing. Be good to keep the 'crawl' element if possible, to tie it in. Ideas on a postcard...
