Updated: May 16, 2020


There are a number of resources available for new picture book writers online. I am happy to share the links of those I found most helpful to me.


 

1. Lisa Michaels - Skillshare classes,

Lisa is a professional illustrator and author of children’s literature. Her classes on skillshare were my first formal education on writing picture books. Lisa does an amazing job of laying the foundation.
