Elements of Picture Book Writing
Bryant Library, Roslyn NY
September 13, 20 October 11,18, 25
6:30-8pm
Picture books are magic, and they are our first love in literature. Do you have a story you want to tell? Join us as we discuss what goes into writing a picture book. Bring your work-in-progress (please bring 5 copies to share). If you don’t have a WIP, no worries! We learn from each other & will get you started! We will go over characters, pacing, first lines, satisfying endings, pitches, voice, story arcs, illustrations, revisions & more. We will be reading current books as mentor texts. This class is interactive and participatory. Inspire the next generation of readers!
