Writing Children's Picture Books - books that kids, parents, and publishers will love - starts August 27th, 2012 This unconventional but effective e-course is limited to 30 students to ensure lots of personalized attention. During the 5 weeks you will create a wonderful picture book in a warm supportive environment and learn more than you could ever imagine. There are way to many good things to include here. The first 10 to sign up receive the early bird special of 225.00USD My name is Mira Reisberg and I'm a Doctor of Education who has taught courses in children's literature and writing and illustrating children's picture books at Washington State University, Northern Illinois University, University of Berkeley Extension, and San Francisco City College Extension. I wrote my 370 page dissertation on children's picture books and have taught, consulted with, and mentored many award-winning and some New York Times best selling picture book authors and illustrators. Over the past 20 years I have worked professionally as a children's picture book editor, art director, book designer and have also illustrated and written for my own award-winning picture books. I'm a great believer in the pedagogy of pleasure, meaning if you enjoy doing something you'll do it a lot and consequently get good at it. I also love to play.
