Picture Book Summit Was Created For YOU!

In 2015, a few picture book writing friends got together and lamented how they had to put their lives on hold to attend conferences with the headliners and educators they wanted to see to improve their writing skills. That’s when they decided there was a better way—move the writing conference online, where it would be accessible to creators from all over the globe without ever leaving home.

Emma Walton Hamilton, Julie Hedlund, Katie Davis, and Kelli Panique work year-round to bring you the best children’s publishing has to offer with actionable takeaways you can apply to your work immediately after the Summit.

Mark your calendar for the first Saturday in October and join us for our next Picture Book Summit!
