Today’s authors compete with modern technology: movies, smartphones, iPads, podcasts and computers. So now, children’s books must be action packed, full of meaning and contain dynamic characters. This class is for writers who have worked on a picture book or chapter book and want to develop it to completion. We will analyze the differences between traditional classic books and modern children's literature. Then we will revise, edit and critique your manuscripts and examine what agents and publishers seek today. We will also explore self-publishing as an alternative to finding an agent and a traditional publisher. Be prepared to be inspired!
