There is lots of information to take onboard and absorb, some helpful handouts/guidance sheets and examples of reference materials for future research. It has been so inspiring and just the tonic I needed.” — Bettina Holland, Children’s Book Writing & Illustration Workshop 30 October: set the scene Gear up, get your project files together, and build them with the rest of the group. 6 November: develop your work in earnest Your storybook dummy takes shape, and work begins on words and spreads. 13 and 20 November: keep going Develop your work in earnest, folding in the next steps between each session. 4 December: show it (free bonus) Bring what you have made to the monthly meet-up and show your new Children’s Book friends.
