Do you have an idea for a children's book? Avoid pitfalls, delays, and disasters--make the manuscript as good as possible before it goes to an illustrator!
Come get feedback on your project from a children's book author and writing expert.
This class will focus on picture books for children ages 1 to 9. It doesn't matter what stage you're at--you can bring a full manuscript, a plot summary, or even just a paragraph describing the characters and their problem.
