INTRODUCTION
TO THE PICTURE BOOK
Have you ever wanted to develop that
picture book story idea you have?
Or write some text to go with your pictorial ideas?
Our popular INTRODUCTION TO THE PICTURE BOOK workshop is a great launch pad for budding writers and illustrators interested in this appealing genre and in self-publishing.
Co-run by myself and Greytown Author Tania Atkinson, participants can expect to learn about story structure, plot, characterisation and the ingredients to help bake a successful picture book story!
This hands-on and comprehensive introduction to this appealing book genre also includes creating a storyboard, a dummy, publishing information and one on one time with tutors during the workshop - to help you develop your story idea.
Workshops are usually run over 2 days over a weekend, held in the Wairarapa. Course booklet and refreshments provided. Suitable for adults 16yrs+.

Viv Walker and Tania Atkinson have published several picture books, through trade publishing houses and through self publishing.
