Revising Your Picture Book Manuscript

Instructor: Terry L. Pierce
Fee: $75.00
See schedule for class dates, times, and location.

Course Description:
"Children's author Terry L. Pierce (Two Tales of Hawaii, Pet Jokes That Will Make You Howl, Tae Kwon Do!) will offer a hands-on (two-evening) workshop class at Cerro Coso Community College on revising your picture book manuscript. Pierce will guide students through the revision process, specifically working on their own completed manuscripts." Is your picture book manuscript a diamond in the rough, just waiting for you to polish it into a sparkling jewel? Have you written a story for young children and you aren’t quite sure if it’s on the right track? This Cerro Coso College Community Education class will give you the chance to analyze your picture book story from the general (What is the theme?) to the specific (Does my main character have enough voice?). The class covers the key elements of writing a successful picture book and how to apply them to your story; openings, middles, endings, characters, point of view, dialogue, language, creating a dummy book, and how to submit to a publisher.

Students should be prepared to roll up their sleeves and get busy. Bring to class: three copies of your manuscript, six different colored highlight markers, scissors, and removable tape.

Instructor Terry L. Pierce is a published children’s author in books and magazines. Her published books include: Two tales of Hawaii, Greatest Goofiest Jokes, Goofiest Knock-Knocks, and Hawaii A-Z Coloring Book Series. Upcoming books that are currently under contract include: Pet Jokes that will Make You Howl!, TAE KWON DO!, and The Bone Hunter. Terry is also the Assistant Kern County Coordinator for the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators.
