There are still a few spots open, so send your registration form in by April 13 to reserve your spot. In this full-day workshop, Priscilla will share her views on the publishing industry and what it takes to create a successful picture book.

There will be lots of hands-on work, so bring a sketch pad, pens and pencils as well as your favorite picture book.

SCBWI Picture Book Workshop in DFW, with Priscilla Burris
I’m passing along the details of this workshop—I’m looking forward to it, and it should be particularly helpful for aspiring illustrators. I learned so much from last year’s workshop with Dan Yaccarino.
