In case you haven’t heard, we have an exciting new theme and some amazing Superstar Speakers lined up for Picture Book Summit 2022! Make plans to join us October 8, 2022, for…

The Write Stuff: Creating Picture Books That Are Out of this World!

Do you have the right stuff for writing picture books? This year’s speakers can’t wait to share their secrets for reaching the publishing stars!

Over the next week, we’ll fill you in on all the juicy details of each presentation for this year’s Picture Book Summit!

We can’t wait for these sessions and we’ve crafted them so you’ll leave this year’s Summit with actionable steps you can take to write manuscripts that are ready for lift-off—whether you write fiction or nonfiction. So, let’s get started with our Superstar Speaker presentations!

Superstar Speakers

The Fan Brothers
To Imagination and Beyond

The Fan Brothers will discuss their unique path into picture books and talk about some of the unconventional sources for their story ideas. The Earth, when viewed from space, doesn’t have any borders or divisions. Similarly, the world of creativity doesn’t have any boundaries or divisions either. Stories can hop from one place to another: from a t-shirt design that eventually became The Night Gardener, or a careless doodle from thirty years ago that grew into Lizzy and the Cloud. Join Eric and Terry as they reveal how your next story may be waiting in the most unlikely place.

Kate DiCamillo
Do You Read Me? Surviving as a Writer, Some Contradictory Advice

Being on the writing journey can sometimes feel like you’ve been set adrift in space. Conflicting critiques have left you wondering which lifeline will lead you back to safety. Beloved children’s author Kate DiCamillo is here to help you decipher which advice to listen to (and which advice to jettison) as you bring your picture book manuscripts out of the dark and into the light.

Stay tuned. We’ll send workshop descriptions, Featured Agent and Editor info, and details about this year’s Founders Sessions throughout the week.
