No critique partner? No problem! Whether your manuscript is a first draft or currently in the R&R submission stage, this highly interactive workshop will cover the intricacies of radical self-revision in the picture book space. Written and visual techniques (graphic organizers, post its, wall drafts, oh my!) will be provided to help picture book writers revise their PB manuscript(s) with or without a critique partner.

Bring your manuscript and be ready to rock and roll with revisions! And rest assured, you'll leave with lots of helpful goodies too because this workshop also includes a list of resources, sample templates, and an editorial checklist for future self-editing picture book projects. *Please note: this workshop is specifically designed for picture book writers and/or author/illustrators. These techniques are not ideal for illustrators only.

Use the promo code EARLYBIRD at checkout for 20% off through May 17.
