Inside Story Workshop

The children’s books sector is one of the liveliest and strongest in the publishing industry, offering creative and professional opportunities to writers, illustrators, editors and designers. 

This fun and informative all-day workshop will offer unparalleled insights into one of the most enduringly popular genres of children’s books: picture books. Led by local professional writers, illustrators, designers and editors from United Publishers of Armidale, the Inside Story workshop will take participants on an exciting journey of discovery, from that first spark of an idea to the finished book landing in bookshops.

Demystifying the creation and production of children’s picture books will give new and aspiring local writers, illustrators, editors and designers an excellent hands-on understanding of every aspect of picture-book creation and production, helping to equip them for potential future careers. 

Workshop Details

The Inside Story workshop schedule is a full day of:
  • presentations including panels,
  • Q & A sessions
  • hands-on activities.
We will be taking a deep dive into the art of writing successful picture-book texts, illustration, editing, design, printing, distribution, marketing, and all other aspects of book production.
