Join author Candy Wellins for a craft webinar that dives into all of the aspects that makes a book successful, and how you can utilize them to make yours a success as well!
In this class, we will look through some of 2024’s best-selling picture books as well as recent award winners. From ideas to structure to that extra oomph, we’ll look at what makes these books so successful and how YOU can take these successes and implement them into your own manuscripts. Come prepared with a notebook full of ideas or none at all. You are sure to find inspiration and motivation during this hands-on class.
