Kim Piddington
Critique Across Missouri
Hey, everyone,
Last week I had the opportunity to host four other picture book writers in my home to talk picture books. What fun!
We discussed characterization, pacing, story problems, illustration, the rule of three, emotional resonance, and lots more. We critiqued one another’s work and even heard a couple of original songs by one of the attendees.
The event was called Critique Across Missouri, and it was organized by Kim Piddington, Missouri’s RA for SCBWI. Several groups held similar sessions all over the state.
Thanks, Kim, for getting us started, and thanks to those of you who sat around my kitchen table last Wednesday morning!
