Is this really different from all the other workshops and courses I’ve tried before? How exactly would it help me?
Imagine a program where every aspect of your picture book journey is covered—craft, submissions, industry connections, and even the mindset needed for success. That’s what the Picture Book Writers' Hub offers: a complete solution to the frustrations you've been facing.
Unlike other classes or memberships that might only scratch the surface, this program digs deep into the blind spots you didn’t even know were holding you back. You’ll gain a rock-solid foundation in picture book craft, receiving live feedback on your manuscripts and query letters. Plus, you’ll work on multiple projects at once, so by the end, you’ll have not just one but several submission-ready pieces.
But this is more than just craft. You’ll learn how to curate a targeted submission list and prepare a submission package that stands out from the crowd. You'll get to connect directly with industry professionals—agents and editors who are actively looking for new talent—and yes, you’ll have the opportunity for your work to be considered by the very people who can change your writing career.
Why is this program different? Because it’s proven. Writers who have worked with me have signed with agents, secured publishing deals, and launched their author careers. This is not just theory—it’s a system that gets results. From polishing your manuscripts to learning how to market yourself and even earn an income as an author, the Picture Book Writers' Hub is the full package.
Don’t put off your writing dreams any longer. The publishing world is competitive, and the time to act is now. Every day you wait is a missed opportunity to elevate your writing, connect with the right people, and finally see your stories in print.
