A 3 Week Online Course: Writing Books for Children can be done independently with email feedback from Kristen Balouch. This is the only children's book writing course that is designed for illustrators and visual thinkers. The course includes word play, idea generators, and assignments—plus loads of picture book samples. I pooled these ideas from 30 years of experience in the children's book industry. This course will help you create original children's book concepts and flush them out to create a 32 page picture book. Additionally I am available for advice and encouragement along the way.
