Join Lindsay Schlegel for "Picture Books: Craft and Critique"
Thursdays, July 20, 27, August 3, 10, 2023, 7:00 p.m. CST, Virtual Class
When most people think of children’s literature, they think first of picture books. In a well written children’s picture book, the text works in concert with the art. The story functions on multiple levels, and, most importantly, the child listener has an opportunity to engage with the adult reader and create a lifelong memory.
This four-week crash course in picture book writing combines a study of the form with practical critiques of the students’ work. The goal is to have a submission-ready manuscript and a stockpile of new ideas to pursue.
