Happy Poetry Month!
I'm excited to be featured as one of the Writing Day Workshop's guest authors. I love picture books with a poetic feel to them. My blog post, Poetry in Picture Books, Crafting Lyrical Magic for Read-Aloud Delight, gives examples from different picture books to show how using poetic tools when writing a picture book in prose helps to give it that poetic feel and read-aloud quality. I hope you'll check it out!
While you're there check out the Writing Day Workshops website. There's much to explore for writers of all genres. And something for everyone wherever you are on your writing journey.
But what I love best is the WDW blog which features posts by agents and authors about writing for all genres, including children's books. Search for what you're interested in by category.
My thanks to Chuck Sambuchino, executive Director & Coordinator of WDW and bestselling author of GOODNIGHT, PICKLEBALL. And to Brandy Vallance, Event Facilitator at WDW and literary agent and author.
Thanks for reading my post ont the Writing Day Workshop! Have fun with your words when writing your picture book! And don't forget to think 'poetry.'
