About

Picture books have hardly any words, so writing one must be easy, right? Not at all. In fact, they are one of the most difficult forms to tackle. In this masterclass with the bestselling author of The Misewa Saga, On the Trapline, and the recent memoir All the Little Monsters, you will explore the process of creating a picture book, discuss the general rules of form and content, and then try your hand at writing your own.

TIFA’s Creative Writing Masterclasses offer the opportunity to learn how to craft compelling stories and bring captivating characters to life through hands-on lessons from acclaimed authors and industry experts. This is a 90-minute masterclass. All writing levels are welcome.

Masterclasses are presented in partnership with The Humber School for Writers
