Let's Write a Picture Book: a practical guide is for anyone who's ever wanted to write stories for children but doesn't know where to start.

A complete, practical, and entertaining book that covers how to come up with an idea, create compelling and believable characters; outline your story and fit into a 3 Act structure, use of language structure like alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia and repetition, how to set out your picture book using a 32-page layout, the importance of illustrations, and so much more. Including a detailed look at literary agents, publishers and the path to self-publishing.

With his philosophy of K.I.D.S Keeping It Delightfully Simple, Matt B presents current processes, practical exercises and a wealth of industry information.

You will love the conversational approach to learning the craft of writing (illustrating, self-publishing, etc.) your very own children's picture book.
