Just letting you know about this opportunity through the Children’s Book Academy.
I thoroughly enjoyed the last course I did with Mira Riseberg and she puts some wonderful teams together to deliver inspiration and practical skills.
The Rafael Lopez and Pat Cummings Merit Scholarships are open until August 27th
For the Craft and Business of Illustrating Children’s Picture Books
