Join children’s writer and screenwriter, Katy Segrove, in her introductory class about learning to write a children’s picture book. During the course you’ll discover how to write for pre-school children, and you’ll have a go at writing your very own 500-700 word picture book story, completely from scratch.
We’ll start by brainstorming ideas, developing engaging characters and selecting a theme that will resonate with the age-group.
Then we’ll get to work on the main class project – writing your own picture book story, using simple but effective language.
You don’t need to have written before, you just have to want to give it a try!
