DID YOU KNOW...
In 2023, I critiqued over 100 picture book manuscripts. Some of those manuscripts have gone on to land offers of representation from agents, some are out on submission, and some are even published books found on store shelves right now. #kidlit #writingcommunity

I loved teaching the Picture Book Humor Lab but if I’m honest…
It’s tough for me to do LIVE sessions right now. And that’s okay.
So I crafted the Kidlit Haha Laugh & Draft.
More affordable (only $21)
Less time commitment (3 days)
Same vibes 👇
