Publisher's Synopsis
So you have an idea for a picture book, huh? Picture books are an unusual art form, combining a unique blend of writing, illustrating, and designing. This book demystifies the picture book making process so you might could make your own! Through 27 chapters, with templates and exercises, I'll guide you through the process of molding your jumbled-up story idea into the 32-page picture book structure. Using my book, We Are Fungi, as an example, I'll show you how to do it all:
- Writing your story idea
- Refining your manuscript
- Designing your characters
- Drawing your storyboards
- Crafting a book dummy
- Creating the final art
- Submitting your book dummy to publishers, or
- Designing, distributing, and promoting your indie book!
