As the new Co-Regional Advisors of SCBWI CA North/Central , Patricia Newman and Erin Dealey hope to expand workshop offerings in their vast (33 counties) California North/Central area. This workshop is their way of mobilizing and meeting SCBWI members in the Fresno/Visalia area so that they can further address the needs of our children's writers and illustrators.
1:00-3:00 pm Workshop and Picture Book Analysis by Erin Dealey & Patricia Newman
Dealey and Newman have taught this workshop several times before at venues such as CSU Sacramento and the SCBWI Spring Spirit conference. Together they lead participants through the basics of publishing, the muddle of genres-from board books to YA--, work-for-hire, and magazines with humor and inspiration. Their presentation will be followed by a hands-on picture book analysis using participants' manuscripts and those of successfully published picture books (to submit your manuscript for consideration, see the following instructions).
