Has your picture book manuscript been turned down so many times you're considering using it to wallpaper your office?
Have you agonized over every single word in your picture book manuscript and are unable to make one more change--but still don't feel it's ready to submit?
Do you love picture books but long to learn more in a deeper, more meaningful way?
Or would you like to work with like-minded writers in exploring a new picture book story?
Well, I have good news for you!

Enrollment is now open for my online fall course, INTERMEDIATE PICTURE BOOK WRITING, through the UCLA Extension Writers' Program. This is one of my favorite courses to teach! We'll dive into the world of picture books, going beyond the basic craft issues as we investigate this fascinating genre of children's books. Students will have the multiple opportunities for feedback on their work. The end goal is a completed draft of a picture book.

My upcoming UCLA Extension course, Introduction to Writing Easy Readers begins in one week (on April 9) and there are still spots available! Nowhere else will you receive in-depth education about this vital genre of children's literature. Weekly lectures, personal support, and four critique opportunities will help bring your easy reader idea to a complete draft.

Get a kick out of reading!
This morning, I was thrilled to learn that former student Julie Dillemuth has sold her first manuscript! Julie worked on her manuscript with a cognitive-spatial focus in my course, Introduction to Writing Easy Readers. After some declines, Julie revised the story into a picture book format and the story sold! Now, that's what I call having brains and talent!
Congratulations, Julie! I can't wait for 2015, when I can hold a copy in my own hands.
And while we're on the subject, there are still spots available in the upcoming course, Introduction to Writing Easy Readers. Click here for info.

Greetings Writers!
There are still some spots left in my upcoming online UCLA Extension course, "Introduction to Writing Easy Readers." The course runs from April 9-June 11.
This is a great place to learn about easy readers (leveled readers) and develop your story idea into a complete manuscript. I try to create a safe, supportive, educational environment for all my students.

UCLA Extension Writers' Program just posted this on their blog. I'm so happy for Sushree Mishra, a former student in my course, "Introduction to Writing Easy Readers" who took what she learned from the class and applied it to her picture book writing. She now has sold her first picture book manuscript! Congratulations, Sushree!
And speaking of my easy reader course, there are still spots available for the upcoming online class, scheduled from April 9 through June 11. Click here for information.

I feel a bit like Steve Martin's character in The Jerk when he was elated that the new phone book came out.
The new UCLA Extension Summer Quarter 2013 catalog is out!
The new UCLA Extension Summer Quarter 2013 catalog is out!
Why am I so excited? Because on page 124 you will find the listing for my brand new course, Intermediate Picture Book Writing. The idea behind this course is to provide an opportunity for students who have taken either a beginning picture book or easy reader course (through UCLA Extension) and want to learn even more about picture books and have a chance to work on another manuscript. I'm thrilled to have the chance to teach this class!

I hope to meet you in cyber-space again!
