Plow a Path to a Published Book

Penelope Kaye helps you dig deep with the specific tools you need before signing a contract. (Note: This class includes some writing practice.)

Moving from Show and Tell to Show, Don’t Tell

Ruthless Editing

Authors love their manuscripts. They pour blood, sweat, and tears into them. And every word is perfect . . . until it’s not. Thus, the need for editing. Yet this task can be challenging for even the best-known authors, and Penelope understands this very well. She has developed some methods that can help you enjoy the process, even relish ruthless editing.

Join Penelope Kaye, an award-winning author, as she shares the ups and downs in picture book publishing based on her own journey with her first children’s picture book I Do Not Like the Rotten Egg Scent in Yellowstone National Park.
