Does your story have a satisfying narrative arc? Will readers be propelled through each page towards a powerful ending? Will they want to read it all over again? Discover how to structure your storytelling to create maximum impact.
Find out about the elusive ‘hook’. Editors need a strong hook in order to sell ideas to the sales force. No hook, no book! But what exactly does that mean? What makes a good hook and how does it shape your narrative? Learn about this vital component of your storytelling.
Picture books are a unique format, with multiple ways to be enjoyed and myriad ways to tell the same story. Learn how to resonate with your audience and hone your style to suit your subject matter and the needs of the market.
How do you capture the attention of an agent or editor in the unflatteringly designated ‘slush pile’?! Drawing on the earlier sessions, learn how to condense your story into a compelling pitch and avoid common submission pitfalls.
Meet the creative team on a tour of the Little Tiger publishing house. And enjoy a hands-on display of every stage in the life of a book. Plus there will be a sneak peak of Little Tiger’s current, top-secret picture book list!
Receive face-to-face feedback and guidance from an experienced editor on two of your picture book texts to encourage you to improve your work in a friendly, positive environment.
