Her passion for personal experience about her

When people think of books for children, the picture
book comes first to mind. These delightful, lushly-
illustrated volumes read by parents to youngsters
snuggled on their laps have been a mainstay of the
book business for decades.
Many people have stories they want to tell in this
popular format. Yet writing the publishable picture
book is one of the most challenging projects a writer
can tackle.
Come spend a day with children’a author Dorothy Hinshaw Patent
and learn how to turn your story into a page-turning picture book.
You’ll learn about specifics such as acceptable format and
length and ways of writing that will make your story
appropriate for this special genre.
