But see it as a PhD in your Field of Dreams...
I picked a session with a well-known writer... the amazing Leslea Newman. Since I write AND illustrate, it was a good idea to attend a workshop where we actually wrote on the spot with Leslea's prompts. Her detailed and thoughtful analysis of a host of picture books was invaluable. The perspective of time, place and space was brought to light and I now understand how it contributes to the quality of a story. |
