Show Notes

Lots of people want to write picture books. Fremantle Press receives almost 600 picture book submissions a year, and we only publish up to five. In this episode of the Fremantle Press Podcast, Rebecca Higgie takes you into the studios of creators Kelly Canby, Tracey Gibbs and Katie Stewart to talk about how picture books are made. From the first idea to the first illustration to the storyboard, design, publication and promotion, this amazing chat unpacks the whole process. There are lots of pro tips from all three creators on giving your manuscript the best chance of success.
