KEYNOTES
KATE DICAMILLO - Do You Read Me? Surviving as a Writer, Some Contradictory Advice
Being on the writing journey can sometimes feel like you’ve been set adrift in space. Conflicting critiques have left you wondering which lifeline will lead you back to safety. Beloved children's author Kate DiCamillo is here to help you decipher which advice to listen to (and which advice to jettison) as you bring your picture book manuscripts out of the dark and into the light. You will leave this talk feeling seen and inspired.
THE FAN BROTHERS – To Imagination and Beyond
The Fan Brothers will discuss their unique path into picture books and talk about some of the unconventional sources for their story ideas. The Earth, when viewed from space, doesn’t have any borders or divisions. Similarly, the world of creativity doesn’t have any boundaries or divisions either. Stories can hop from one place to another: from a t-shirt design that eventually became The Night Gardener, or a careless doodle from thirty years ago that grew into Lizzy and the Cloud. Join Eric and Terry as they reveal how your next story may be waiting in the most unlikely place.
WORKSHOPS
Shadra Strickland –The Parallel Universe of Authors and Illustrators
What does it mean to "leave room for the illustrator?" What tools can writers use to think visually while writing? Likewise, how can illustrators pull words from their images? Author/Illustrator and Agent Shadra Strickland shares how to get at the heart of your story by making sure both the text and the illustrations do an equal job in the storytelling - for both authors-only and author-illustrators.
Katie Davis - Houston, Your Manuscript Has a Problem
One of the best ways to navigate your course as a writer is through critiques. Whether you’re receiving a critique, or evaluating your own manuscript, you need to know what’s holding your story back. In this session, Katie Davis reveals you how to use the input you receive and be a good critique partner along the way. Get ready to take your work to a whole new stratosphere! (Katie's session comes with a bonus 1-hour Q&A!)
Emma Walton Hamilton & Julie Hedlund - From Lift-Off to Landing: The Cosmic Connection Between the Beginnings and Endings of Picture Books
You’ve seen presentations about great picture book beginnings. You’ve seen them about effective endings. But a truly great picture book relies on the connection between the two. Emma Walton Hamilton and Julie Hedlund show you how to launch topflight stories and navigate them to stellar endings.
Each keynote or workshop is 60 minutes long and includes a handout, closed captioning, and a downloadable transcript.
You get 6 videos and over 6 hours worth of picture book instruction from industry insiders!

“I've gone to the Picture Book Summit twice, and my expectations have been blown out of the water both times. One session alone would have made the entire price of admission worth it, but to have them ALL? Priceless!”
