Description
Sunday, Oct 6, 10:30am-4:30pm
Open to all
Limited to 12 participants
Hybrid Workshop*
From a solid foundation of facts, unleash your fancy…
This workshop offers a framework for writers of any level of experience to explore their own passions, interests, and experiences through the concise format of a picture book manuscript.
What fascinates you—and how can you write it to spark enthusiasm and imaginations among our children and youth?
Over the course of the day, we will
- examine superb examples of creative non-fiction picture books, and
- engage in guided writing exercises that will encourage you to define your own key messages, through topics such as current events, history, biography, travel/culture, science, math, art, music, movement, sports, family stories…
You’ll come away with inspiration, drafted ideas, and a plan to bring your creative non-fiction picture book manuscript to completion.
*This workshop will take place at the QWF Office (Room 3, 1200 Atwater Avenue, Westmount, Quebec) with up to 2 virtual spots for participants who are unable to attend in-person because of distance or disability.
