Writing the Picture Book: Idea to Bookstore, Sunday, Feb. 12th 1:30-4:00 $65 Do you write picture books-or would you like to? Many children’s authors hope to publish the kinds of illustrated stories they loved themselves or have enjoyed reading to their children. In this workshop, we’ll discuss ways to write a manuscript that can compete with the spin-offs, movie tie-ins, and celebrity-authored books in today’s marketplace.Picture books have special requirements in terms of structure, character development, themes, presentation, illustration potential, and style. Workshop participants will have a chance to practice skills and analyze the elements in successful picture books, including a group of editor’s favorites. We’ll see how authors move from promising idea to finished book.

Gundell. For seasoned pros or curious amateurs, teenagers  and adults. The goal is to write, polish and perform one new song.  We start by listening—to our favorite songwriters and our favorite songs.  From there, we will move to an analysis of the basics of song components, structure and forms.  As we start to learn how songs are constructed, we start to construct our own. If you think you have a hit song inside you, you have to pitch it to sell it. In each class, Andy will share his knowledge of how to get your songs into the hands of artists to record them and to TV, film and ad execs to license them. We will also workshop performance practice and we will have a performance evening for those who would like to participate.  Need a rudimentary knowledge of an instrument.
