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)
