    Led by an editor and an author-illustrator, this one-day intensive will help you craft stories with abundant visual appeal. Through analysis of three classic picture books you will gain a better understanding of how text and art must work together. Targeted writing exercises, examples, and discussion will emphasize the importance of craft and focus on the challenges a text can present an illustrator. At the end of the session, you’ll be looking at your stories with fresh ideas about how increase their appeal to your audience—children and publishing decision-makers.

    This workshop is capped at 10 students.
