You may register for one picture book workshop in winter season. If there is extra space 1 month ahead of the workshop start (6 weeks for multi-round groups), you may register for another.
Work with author Kirsten Larson and a small group of peers to revise your nonfiction picture book manuscript. Writers will engage deeply with their own work and that of their peers through workshopping, revision, and craft discussion.
GROUP DETAILS
In this workshop, picture book writers will work with Kirsten Larson and a curated group of peers to revise a manuscript over two submission rounds. The group will meet shortly after work is submitted for an intro call, in which the writers can share their intentions for the story plus questions/issues they’re having. In Round 1, writers submit one story for written peer and professional critique. For Round 2, writers will revise and resubmit their story. Round 1 concludes with a live group debrief call where each writer discusses their work with Kirsten. Round 2 concludes with a discussion board open for Q&A, to allow writers to ask Kirsten questions and discuss industry/craft topics. These discussions will be hosted in our group workspace, and writers can chime in on their own time (they are not live).
While the workshop allows significant time for revision and critique, the time tends to pass quickly, and participants should be mindful of their schedules when considering this group.
