Whether
you’ve never written a picture book, or you have a drawer full of manuscripts,
this boot camp is for you. Rob Sanders—a former editor, and now a writing teacher
and picture book author—will lead the session. Since Rob began his picture book
journey six years ago, he has sold four picture books to three major houses,
landed an agent, and achieved great riches and fame. Okay, that last part isn’t
true, but you'll still enjoy this lively session with Rob. You will learn about
creating a concept, picture book plot, character development, beginnings and
endings, formatting, and much, much more. Come blastoff to your picture
book dreams! Limit: 40 participants
Required Gear: Bring your laptop or favorite supplies for writing and
note-taking. Outlets are limited. Bring one (or more) of your picture book
manuscripts. If you don’t have a work-in-progress, no worries! We will have
lunch at a local restaurant, but you are welcome to bring your lunch, snacks,
coffee, etc.

heart.
