Meeting dates: September 17, 24; October 1, 8, 15, 22

Picture books are magic, and they are our first love in literature. Do you have a story you want to tell? Join us as we discuss what goes into writing a picture book. Bring your work-in-progress (please bring 5 copies to share). If you don’t have a WIP, no worries! We learn from each other! We will go over characters, pacing, first lines, satisfying endings, pitches, voice, story arcs, illustrations, revisions & more. We will be reading current books as mentor texts. This class is interactive and participatory. Inspire the next generation of readers! Roseanne Baxter Frank is a long-time East Hills resident and early childhood teacher. She is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators and the social media coordinator for the Long Island chapter. She is also a freelance editor and adores writing picture books. She is the founder of Parents Love Picture Books – a site that brings authors & readers together. Her first YA novel, LEGACY & LEGEND, was just signed with PenIt Publishing. You can connect with her on Twitter @writingoutloud2 Instagram @writingoutloud or at rbfrank.com. Please register to reserve your space in the class. No fee required.
