Learn how to find those editors, what to send them, and how to present your work. It’s a misconception that you need to be an artist to write children’s books – if you are not, the publisher hires one for your story. Topics include: Formats, brainstorming, writing and illustration do’s & don’ts, what publishers look for, finding publishers, submitting work, contracts, working with editors, agents, and more. Min. of 7 needed. The program will meet via zoom, March 3 – 24 from 6:30 – 8:30 PM. The fee is $165. Non-residents please add $10.
