Summary:
Join children’s author Jessica Walton for a day of imagination and perspiration; we’ll look at the existing world of picture books for children, exploring what has worked for successful books on the market today. Next, we’ll jump straight into writing them ourselves! Start from the very beginning or develop an existing concept or manuscript. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, there’s nothing like being surrounded by other picture book writers to get the creative juices flowing! Prepare to be inspired, energised and supported as we take the leap from idea to page together.
