Finding Your Voice - PBSummit 2020

Experiencing PBSummit FOMO?

Wow.

We are still speechless by last Saturday’s Picture Book Summit. It was full of inspiration, encouragement, laughter, healing, and motivation.

It was the Summit of our hearts.

It was the Summit we needed in 2020.

This Summit was so special, we’re opening up registration again for a few more days. We want as many picture book writers as possible to experience this one-of-a-kind event. You can register now and get access to the Summit replays through January 31, 2021.

Here’s a taste of what our Superstar Speakers shared at this year’s Summit:

“You never know when something in your peripheral vision might become the next story. The things you make for yourself, the things you collect, it can become the thing at the very front of your brain.” – Sophie Blackall

 

“There are no real unique ideas. So what can you bring that makes it special and unique?” – Lesa Cline-Ransome

  • Networking with other writers
  • Access to the entire Summit’s recordings until January 31, 2021
  • Guaranteed lowest price to next year’s event
