Create a Book


INSTRUCTOR: Jackie Kramer

LOCATION: Gilbert Park Elementary School (Northeast Portland)

DATES: Five meetings, Monday - Friday, July 7 - 11

TIME: 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM

 

  Author, editor, designer, illustrator, publicist…a lot of skills, talent and time go into publishing a book.

Learn about the different roles and responsibilities various publishing professionals must master in order to produce books. We'll look at the industry as a whole, first starting with query letters and story submissions sent to editors by would-be authors. We'll cover the range of the industry including how book covers are designed to convey a certain look and feel. We'll practice writing back cover copy and reviews for our future award-winning books.
You are encouraged to bring your book or story ideas to the first class!
