Come read, write, and/or illustrate your very own children's book! In addition to our presentations, we will have guest speakers from all parts of the Bay Area children's literature community. The rest of the course will be devoted to workshopping your own picture book, Middle-Grade novel, or portfolio of illustrations--all with the help of your passionate, bookish peers! Ultimately, this course is a fun way to develop both the skills and the network necessary to explore a career in children's literature. At the very least, we hope to offer a safe space for you to create something you can be proud of!

Attendance policy: You cannot pass with more than 2 unexcused absences (we know times are difficult right now, so just shoot us an email to excuse your absence if needed).

Course codes will be given out on the first day of class: Wednesday, Feb 3rd, 6-8 pm on Zoom. Fill out the application as soon as possible, and we'll send you the Zoom invitation link to the course!
