Hello, fellow writers! I sometimes get emails from other adults interested in writing for children. I hope the resources on this page (a very small sampling of what's out there!) will be helpful to you.
Some of my own blog posts on the writing process can be found here.
I also teach an Introduction to Writing Picture Books workshop. For more details, please contact me.
