THE PICTURE BOOK PROCESS

I will review the process for the creation of a picture book, including:

Initial idea origin and development, revision process, role of illustrator, marketing plans, additional editing with publisher, and other steps to actual publication of a book. Examples of various steps will be taken from A Father’s Song and other works. Powerpoint and props will be used.

Presentation can also cover either:

A.Literature/language arts components:
- Rhyme and alliteration - explaining terms, having students participate
- Editing process - "every word counts", encouraging students to edit their own work
- Brief writing exercise - (small groups) poetry comprehension excersise.
B. Author’s story:
- childhood - what did I read? what did I write?
- Education - writing as a student, Volunteer Director and attorney.
- family - children and pets
- Inspiration - family bonds, nature, humor, writing from the heart
- Hobbies- what sports do I love? why do I garden and read?
- Other projects - fairies, dinosaurs, ocean life and school days.
- Questions for you: what do you love? what do you want to write about?
C. A combination of above.
