Where are you on your
Picture Book writing journey?
We can help you with every step, from drafting your picture book to getting it published.
Get Started
Every great story starts with a great idea. And behind every great idea there are tons of not-so-great ones. Sorting through and throwing out the “meh” ideas to find the spark of your story is one of the most important parts of the writing process. If that’s where you are, we have you covered.
Structure from
Start to Finish
Have an idea for a picture book in your head, but don’t know where to take it? The next step is an outline—the foundation for everything that comes next. A good outline can set your novel up for success, identify plot holes, iron out details, and help you finish your project faster. This is how you get there.
Craft a Narrative
So much goes into writing a good draft. And in such short manuscripts, every word matters. We’ve been helping picture book writers for years, and we’re here to share what we’ve learned.
Polish Your Draft
There’s still a lot of polishing that goes into getting a manuscript ready for submission and publication. Let's hone your work and elevate your craft.
Send It Successfully
We know the submission process can feel intimidating. So much about it feels unknown: Is there a place for my story in the market? What will this agent think? Will they even open my email? This is a good place to start.
Get Published
Looking to get published, but feeling unsure about the traditional route or overwhelmed by self-publishing options? We've been there. Let us guide you through the picture book publishing process.
