Description
KidLit: Picture Book Critique Group
Workshop your draft to be submission ready.
Do you have a solid draft of a picture book? During this class, we workshop drafts so you can get constructive feedback from your instructor and peers. We begin each week with a mini-lesson on craft and then devote the rest of the class to peer critiques, honing in on the essential elements of structure, language, and character arc. The goal is to create polished manuscripts that are submission ready for conferences and/or agents/editors.
Meet Your Instructor: Michele Prestininzi
“What I love about Picture Book Critique is the collaboration and inspiration that runs through every class. Students not only strengthen their craft and critiquing skills, but also become invested in their fellow writers’ stories as much as their own. They are each other’s cheerleaders, and they don’t give up–even if the writer has doubts. This tight-knit group supports each other in a safe space to make their stories shine.”
Michele also teaches KidLit: Picture Book (Level 1).

Our organization was founded to help amplify the voices of those who are often not heard—including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other historically marginalized groups. We have witnessed how writing and sharing stories has the power to effect change by generating greater love, compassion, and empathy in the listener. In all of our programs, we provide an inclusive, supportive, and welcoming environment. We do not tolerate writing that perpetuates harmful stereotypes or fuels hate. Failure to align with our philosophy can result in your removal from class.
