3 Best Practices for Picture Book Writers with Brian Gehrlein

Picture book author and host of PB Spotlight Brian Gehrlein shares three best practices for picture book writers, including:

1. A process for reading and analyzing picture books: Determine what makes them work and what makes you want to read them. What’s motivating page turns. What’s known and unknown, what’s directly and indirectly being said?

2. The opportunity of pagination to go from manuscript to a book. 

3. Art notes and setting up moments for the art to tell the story as well as the power of a wordless/nearly wordless spread.
