Rhythm & Rhyme Workshop

Editors and agents often say that they don’t like rhyming picture books. The reason? Most rhyming picture books we see in the slush are poorly done.

You can learn how in an online workshop I’m offering for picture book writers that includes a class, manuscript critique, and personal consultation—all for $50.
