4-Week: Writing the Rhyming Picture Book

with Denise Vega

 

Date: 10/19/2016 - 10/19/2016
Time: 04:00 pm
Location: Lighthouse Writers Workshop
Category: Education/Training
Summary: 4 week writing course
Details:

 "Love to read and write rhyming children’s picture books? Wondering why publishers often say they don’t accept or want rhyming picture books? (Answer: Because they receive so many that contain poor rhyme! Many do want them if they're GOOD.) In this workshop, you’ll explore what makes a good rhyming picture book, looking at structure, narrative, rhythm, stanzas, rhyme scheme, meter, as well as bridge stanzas and non-rhyming refrains to build tension, create humor and/or surprises. 

 
Through the use of mentor texts, discussion, exercises, and light workshopping of your own stories, you’ll have a better grasp of what makes a good rhyming picture book and how you can improve your own rhyming story.
 
Please bring nine stapled copies of your rhyming picture book story and a favorite published rhyming picture book to the first class. A recommended reading list will be sent to students a week prior to the first class.

Prerequisite: Intro to the Children’s Picture, 8-Week Writing the Children’s Picture Book, or permission of the instructor. 
 
Session ends on 11/9/16
