3 Top Techniques for Writers and Illustrate to Keep Kids Captivated!

Writing with Emotion!

Writing Cover Letters and Pitches That Editors & Agents Want to Read!

Steal This! Using Cultural References for Writers & Illustrators

There's an art and form to Writing Cover Letters, and Pitches that Editors and Agents Want to Read hopefully leading to a "yes to publishing". In fact short pitches and bios are literally tiny masterpieces of writing. This instant access masterclass will teach you exactly how to do it. And it's all yours to access whenever you like for a whole year if you sign up for our special extra Monday event. When you click the link, it will give you two options. Just click the second one. You won't regret it! Wahoo! 

Writing with Emotion is fundamental to keeping your reader hooked in with suspense, fear, happiness, joy, concern, and a ton of other emotions that make reading exciting, memorable and worthwhile.

Three Top Techniques teaches you how to work with Rhythm, Pacing, and Page Turns for both writers and illustrators! It's pretty awesome!

Finally, Steal This: Using Cultural References looks at ways that writers and illustrators can steal from (er learn from, be inspired by, adapt) visual culture, pop culture, history, mythology, folk-tales and more. It's pretty amazing!

And Everyone Receives a Whole Year of Additional Access!
