You Should Be Writing Picture Book Biographies!

History’s heroes and villains (and everyone in between) vibrantly come to life in one of kidlit’s most beloved genres: the Picture Book Biography.

Even in a crowded market, publishers are always on the lookout for fresh, creative Picture Book Biographies. That’s because they’re the perfect way to introduce children to the people who have shaped our world, and those who are creating a better future.

But there’s one big problem for writers:

The Picture Book Biography of today is very different from those we grew up on. Today’s books are more creative in their storytelling and blaze new trails in structure, focus and scope.

And they dig much deeper into the corners of history that have been marginalized in the past.

It’s an exciting time to write picture book biographies – if you know what publishers, teachers, librarians and parents are looking for right now.

In this comprehensive workshop, Beth Anderson, one of kidlit’s top picture book biographers, will personally guide you through the process of choosing a subject, researching and crafting a truly modern picture book bio.
