Picture Book Range: Writing Across Styles and Topics
with Award-Winning Author Tameka Fryer Brown
Stick to one genre or diversify? What's a children's author to do?
Is it better to find your literary niche and stick to it, or should you strive to diversify your stories in as many ways as possible? How do agents and editors feel about the matter? What’s the best way to figure out which strategy to pursue?
Author Tameka Fryer Brown will share her philosophy on storytelling and diversification, particularly as it relates to book sales, author branding, and legacy-building.
This webinar purchase includes lifetime access to the 80-minute video, transcript, and downloadable audio track.
" What I love about broad range of Tameka’s books is that they’re all PBs. We often think that to diversify you need to do so by moving to another genre, but you can diversify within a genre."
