Workshop: Writing Picture Books with Tim Wynne-Jones

Join award-winning author Tim Wynne-Jones for an intense workshop experience on what makes a young reader read.

It has been said that in a picture book, the words are the story. It’s an enigmatic statement that has something to do with the importance of every word, not simply the meaning of it, but the weight of it, the rhythm, the energy. We are tasked with introducing a young reader to the very spirit of language on the page.

While the pictures often get the attention, the writer’s job, apart from creating the story in the first place, is to entice an (unknown-to-you) illustrator to take on the job! How do you do that? Come and see! 

Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your writing skills under the expert guidance of Tim Wynne-Jones.

A notepad, writing tools, or a laptop are required. Don't forget your water-bottle!
