Picture Book Workshop

Picture Book Publishing for Beginners Workshop (Adults)

* October 3rd (Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.): Choose Your Publishing Path Picture Book Workshop led by award-winning picture book author/illustrator Alina Loux of Little Story Squad and featuring Brooke Baum and Samantha Cora at Studi-yo Madison (advance registration is $100/adult).

Publishing is confusing. (There, somebody had to say it.)

You're sure that YOUR path to being a published picture book author is out there... But how are you going to find it?

In this one day workshop, published authors who know the industry deeply will give you everything you need to make the right decision for you. 

No judgement.

No trying to tell you which way is the RIGHT way.

You'll leave with confidence in the publishing path that's right for you... and clear next steps.

* 10am - 12pm (Alina Loux): Learn the ins and outs of the 3 main publishing paths (self, traditional, hybrid), including the tradeoffs of each. Discover what path best fits your creative vision, goals, and resources.

* 12pm - 1pm: Break for lunch and enjoy the company of other creatives who love picture books. (Bring your own lunch or walk to nearby restaurants/coffee shops.)

* 1pm - 2pm (Brooke Baum): Take the first step and learn how to query agents. Learn how to craft your pitch - a critical skill that will serve you whatever publishing path you choose.
 
* 2pm - 3pm (Samantha Cora, Brooke Baum, and Alina Loux): Ask Us Anything: When else can you ask 3 published picture book authors anything? We're open books (pun intended) and ready to answer whatever questions you might have.
