What Makes a Picture Book Commercial

About the Event

Dani Vee knows what makes a story stand out—not only as a bestselling author, but as a publisher who sees manuscripts from the other side of the submission desk. In this behind-the-scenes webinar, Dani will explore what makes a picture book commercially appealing and why that matters, helping you understand what publishers are looking for and how to give your manuscript the best chance of getting that coveted "YES." Whether you're writing your first picture book or polishing a manuscript you've been working on for years, you'll come away with a better understanding of how to think beyond simply having a good story and create a book that has real market appeal.
