Hi, everyone! I just wanted to let anyone who's interested in writing picture books or want to focus or learn more about different aspects of picture book writing that I'm offering a mini-picture book workshop via my blog.

Details are on my blog today. http://tinyurl.com/oc6nve2

This is great, Pam. Thanks for being so generous with your wisdom!

Great, I'll have to take a look.  Maybe it'll help me find just the right words to finish those PB manuscripts.

Pam, you're the master. (Or is it the mistress?) This should be very good.

The first lesson is up! I hope it helps! I'll be posting these by 12 noon CST every Monday unless I go out of town. Then I'll let you know.

Pam, I merged the two threads and while I would encourage everyone to subscribe to your posts, I also want to encourage you to use this thread to post additional updates. As long as it's all in one thread it won't clog up the boards and there's so much good information here to share!

All of your posts have been helpful -- thank you! I'm in the midst of revising a character-driven pb, and today's post was particularly useful.

I got a lot out of your article on character-driven pbs. Thanks for your excellent post(s).

I just tweeted about it too.

Your PBU is great, Pam! I love how you break down the structure of a PB--esp. the external vs. emotional conflict. Got my notebook out. I'm ready to learn more!
