Picture book writing: workshop

Using examples from published material alongside writing exercises/workshop activities in class, the course examines how to write a picture book text. Over six weeks, there is plenty of opportunity to develop and explore hands-on writing techniques and develop individual stories. We will examine the unique relationship between the words and the illustration in a picture book and - from a writing point of view - how the story must take account of both. The course also looks at how to prepare a text manuscript, set it out and ap-proach publishers.

The Tutor
Lou Kuenzler attended a writing for children class at City Lit some years ago. Since then she has written many popular books for newly fluent and middle grade readers as well as picture books. She has also written for Cbeebies television. She is very proud that so many of her past students have achieved publication success of their own.
