About this title

Synopsis

Finally, write the picture book you've been dreaming about and create a manuscript you're proud to share.

You don't need an MFA, years of publishing experience, or endless hours of research to write a great children's story.

You need a proven process.

Whether you're starting with a simple idea or you've been stuck on the same manuscript for months, Picture Book Perfection gives you the roadmap to confidently write, revise, and prepare a manuscript that stands out.

Award-winning author, publisher, and founder of Journey to Kidlit Brooke Van Sickle has helped tens of thousands of aspiring children's book authors turn their ideas into polished manuscripts. Now she's sharing the same practical framework that's helped writers move from blank pages to books they're proud to submit.

Inside you'll learn how to:

Turn your idea into a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end
Create memorable characters children connect with
Master pacing, page turns, and rhythm unique to picture books
Avoid the most common mistakes that lead to rejection
Revise your manuscript with confidence
Understand your publishing options and prepare for the next step

Plus, you'll receive a FREE printable companion workbook filled with planning pages, writing exercises, and templates to help you apply every lesson.

If you're ready to stop wondering whether your story is good enough and finally create a picture book you're excited to share, Picture Book Perfection will show you exactly where to begin.

BONUS: Every purchase includes a FREE downloadable workbook to help you outline, draft, and polish your manuscript as you read. Download instructions are included inside the book.
