A 5 week highly interactive e-Course/Talent Search with
Golden Ticket opportunities to submit to editors and agents
Starts June 29 2015 for 5 glorious weeks (with a catch up week July 27th)!
Do you have a great idea for a children's book or are unsure if your idea is any good? Or did you start writing but hit 'the wall' and don't know where to go next? Or maybe you have a finished manuscript you are in love with but just can't seem to find a way to get it in front of the right eyeballs and the only feedback you've been getting are those sweetly worded but still pretty soul crushing rejection letters.
That's why a few years ago I created a very special course that now has a wonderful track record of published and contracted students. I have been reviewing, revising, revamping and retooling this course so that this year it's better than ever. Allow me to introduce...

Still a little unsure? Here are a few more testimonials from the amazing students who have taken this transformative journey before you:
![]() From T anja BauerleI– I just completed The Craft and Business of Writing Children’s Picture Books. The wonderful Mira Reisberg is so incredibly generous and knowledgeable that the past five weeks have been filled with resources, information and practical applications that I can’t wait to implement into my own writing. I feel so inspired and feel like my inner writer is blossoming, all that’s to the marvelous Mira. I highly encourage you to take any of Mira’s courses. You will not be disappointed and the tools that she will bestow on you will propel you onwards.

![]() From Melanie Moschella–I thoroughly enjoyed the online format of “The Craft and Business of Writing Children’s Picture Books”! Every weekday there was a new lesson posted with lecture notes and informative videos from other children’s book authors [and editors, agents, and book sellers]. I had an idea for a picture book, but as a new writer I did not know how to get started. What I especially liked about this class was our small critique groups and the one-on-one critique with Dr. Reisberg. Dr. Reisberg understands the children’s book industry and her feedback and continued encouragement has been wonderful!

![]() From Marcy Pusey - Just completed five weeks with the Children's Book Academy… and I have to say: It was SUPERB. FANTASTIC. The class has so inspired and equipped me, that I’ve been more intentional about submitting, working, pitching, querying… and writing. I have some new, great, practical “tools” in my writer’s toolbox that I didn’t have before. I’ve left with a new fantastic critique group, an e-book with all the information, access to the website for awhile longer, and Mira. Mira is amazing. Since the class ended ( a couple of weeks ago), I've won second place in the Perfect Character Driven Pitch contest. I submitted a book to a publisher I’ve worked with before (SNAP Learning) who loved my work and bought it!"
