"I am finding patterns now in how I write—the positive aspects and the areas that seem to cause me problems. If I can name them, I can study model books and ask better questions. The areas I'm discovering are exciting to me. I appreciate this course so much for the valuable lessons I have gained."

"Hearing others' manuscripts, and learning about the editing and review process of peers was very insightful."

"The class offered a great overview of the picture book writing process as well as insights into the business of children's publishing. Having an instructor who has published a children's book lends great credibility to the course."
