A 6-Week Children's Book Writing Workshop

Have you ever dreamed of writing a children's book? Whether you have a notebook full of ideas or are starting with a blank page, we will guide you through the creative process of developing your own original story.

Over six engaging Sunday afternoon sessions, you'll learn how to transform an idea into a children's book manuscript. Through interactive lessons, creative exercises, group discussions, and supportive feedback, you'll explore story development, memorable characters, engaging plots, editing techniques, picture book structure, and publishing options.

Each week builds on the last, giving you the opportunity to grow your skills while making steady progress on your story. Between sessions, you'll complete enjoyable workbook activities and writing assignments that help bring your ideas to life.

Throughout the workshop, you'll:

Discover and refine story ideas.
Create memorable characters children will love.
Build engaging plots with satisfying endings.
Learn how words and illustrations work together in picture books.
Receive constructive feedback in a welcoming, encouraging environment.
Explore traditional and independent publishing pathways.

Who Should Attend
This workshop is perfect for aspiring children's book authors, parents, grandparents, teachers, librarians, homeschool educators, and anyone who has a story they want to share with young readers. No previous writing experience is required—just curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to write.

By the end of the series, you'll leave with:

A completed first draft or detailed manuscript of your children's book.
A professional workbook filled with writing tools and resources.
Greater confidence in your writing abilities.
A clear roadmap for revising, illustrating, and publishing your story.

Join in September and discover that every unforgettable children's book begins with one simple idea—and the courage to write the first page.
