Writing Picture Books
|
How to write a picture book that intrigues the child and creates an attractive character through a valuable and engaging narrative.
Description
Writing Picture Books is a course that teaches how to write a picture book that respects children’s minds, nurture their dreams, care for their fears and quotes from their world. The course explains the basics of picture books, the voice, the structure of the story or the plot, the characters, the value that the book promotes, and last, the syntax needed.
A bachelor in literature is not a prerequisite for this course, nor do you need to be a published writer. However what is needed is a natural tendency to tell a story. You also need to know a lot about the children’s world, respect their logic and their vulnerability.
Not many picture books in the Arab World satisfy the global guidelines of the genre, and the few that do, are mostly based on famous western books. We hope in this course to fill the gap and come up with good original books that reflect our identity and customs!
What you’ll learn
After you finish the course you will be able to write a picture book that satisfies the guidelines for the genre that are: creating a flowing narrative, building an attractive character, familiarizing with a 3 act structure plot, communicating a value.
