Why Dr. Mira Reisberg?
Mira is the only person working in the children's book field who is all of these:
A former literary agent
An award-winning former children's literature professor who wrote a 370 page dissertation on kid lit
An award-winning and best-selling children's book illustrator and writer
Teacher/mentor to many now award-winning and best-selling children's book creatives
Tons of fun with close to 30 years of experience and hard earned knowledge in the field
In Radically Improving Your Writing or Illustration, we will study character development, plot principles, language, and how to bring it all together for Picture Books, Chapter Books, or Middle Grade or Graphic Novels. If you don’t have a manuscript, Mira will help you come up with the perfect story idea to help you get started.

If you are working on your portfolio or a dummy, bring your art, a pad of tracing paper, and a sketch book with pencil and eraser for a creative adventure.

Through Mira's patient guidance and well structured lessons, I've become a better writer and overall analyst of children's literature...which makes me a better writer! No question goes unanswered. The community that Mira creates is one of love and support. No other class can compare. Thank you, Mira, for helping me grow. ~ Hillery Rubens (teacher/writer)
Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to attend a live workshop with Dr. Mira, Director of the Children's Book Academy and teacher to many now published students.
