Writing Intensive
Creating a World in 800 Words or Less
In picture books, less is more. Learn how to build a rich world for readers in small word counts. In this intensive, you’ll try your hand at writing juicy verbs, creating repeating patterns, employing perfect similes and metaphors, and cutting story text until it becomes a perfect read-aloud.
