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 technically cannot pass with more than 2 unexcused absences (though we are rather lenient about what counts as an absence).

Course codes will be given out after the first day of class: Wednesday, September 8th, 6-8 pm in 179 Dwinelle. Fill out the application and we'll see you there!
