Upper School Intersession 2025

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a children's book writer? Then this session is for you. Sabrina Moyle, author of over 20 children's books including nine Amazon Editor's Picks, will walk you through the business and process of writing and publishing a children's book. What makes a great children's book? What are the different children's book types and formats? Why do people purchase children's books? Why are some books successful, and others are not? What are the key elements of a children's book? What does a finished children's book manuscript look like? How does a book go from manuscript to publication? How do you get a children's book published? We'll start by discussing some beloved children's books, such as Where the Wild Things Are, Goodnight Moon and The Rabbit Listened, investigate what makes them work, and discuss how books like these are made and published.  Students will then have a chance to brainstorm some ideas of their own.
