6. Making Picture Book Magic [this is an online class]
I took this class in November of 2013. It’s was unbelievably helpful. I’m still using the
instructor’s techniques with my current manuscripts. You can’t beat the price either. Make sure to
follow Susanna’s blog http://susannahill.blogspot.com/ it’s loaded with info for picture book writers.
And she always hosts fun contests.
