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.

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+.

COST: $150 pp 


The workshop is co-run by Tania Atkinson, an author from Greytown, and Viv Walker an illustrator/author from Carterton.  Both have published several books, via trade publishers and through self publishing.
