Hosted by Maine Media Workshops - a live, online class using the Zoom Platform. Class meets Thursdays for five sessions, 10am-1pm & 2pm-5pm ET and weekly one-on-one sessions with the instructor.

Attention educators, author-illustrators, and visual storytellers! Take your picture book idea from concept to industry-standard dummy book ready for submission to agents/publishers or further development into a self-published book. Join me online from the cozy comfort of your home or office for five Thursdays beginning January 10. This is an immersive, online-learning experience exploring the art form of the picture book through group and individual meetings, as well as shared readings and resources.

Participants will be guided through the process of picture book manuscript writing and revision, thumbnail sketches/storyboarding and the creation of a thoughtfully considered and compelling ‘dummy book ’ which is the industry standard for submitting your book idea to agents and publishers (and best practice for an independently published book.) Through weekly prompts/assignments, participants will be encouraged to stay on track to complete a dummy book within the course timeframe, however the instructor will design the content of meetings and handouts so that participants have the knowledge and tools to complete their project at any time.
