#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Using real-life examples from Charlotte’s picture books, go behind the scene of how a book comes to be! Including storyboarding and illustration roughs, Prep–Year 3 students will learn how picture books and novels are published. Students will explore all stages of the publication process, from an author coming up with an idea through to a book ending up in a bookstore.
