Press Release Fun:Little Airplane Children’s Book Academy

I’d promote it anyway but since I’m also speaking at it there’s an added incentive.  Plus it’s pretty awesome in and of itself.

Little Airplane Children’s Book Academy

Renowned children¹s book publisher Brenda Bowen will lead an intensive three-day workshop at Little Airplane Productions dedicated to the craft of creating quality children¹s books. The Little Airplane Children¹s Book Academy will run from May 30 through June 1.

Joining the Academy are Children’s Literature Ambassador Jon Sciezska; Anne Schwartz & Lee Wade, co-publishers of Schwartz & Wade/Random House; Alessandra Balzer, co-publisher of Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins; Betsy Bird, New York Public Children’s librarian; and Greg Foley, award-winning picture book author/artist.

The three-day intensive course is designed for industry professionals and beginners who want to learn what it takes to make and sell successful picture books.  The Academy runs concurrent with Book Expo America (BEA) and the $1500 tuition includes a three-day admission to BEA.

During the three-day course, participants will get an overview of every step in the process of making children¹s books, including writing, illustrating, editing, design, legal and production.  The course features accomplished children¹s book authors, illustrators, editors, and includes a panel discussion with leading literary agents and publishers, who will field questions about how to publish your own work.
