3 amazing webinars for 1 low price!

Our best deal of the year on these 12 x 12 webinars!

Agents and editors say they don't want rhyming manuscripts and yet hundreds of rhyming books are published each year. Why is that?

It's not that publishers don't like rhyme, they just don't like bad rhyme.

Enter the Rhythm & Rhyme Bundle!

In this fabulous three course bundle, learn the technical skills behind writing in rhyme and how a steady diet of poetry can sharpen those rhythmic skills.

The Rhythm & Rhyme Bundle features these award-winning authors:

  • Sue Fliess - award-winning, bestselling author of Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket, How to Trap a Leprechaun, Mary Had a Little Lab, and dozens of other children's books.

Each session includes lifetime access to over 85 minutes of video interviews and Q&A, a downloadable transcript, and an audio-only track.

Read Poetry & Be a Better Author


Pump up your picture books with poetry techniques!

Almost three decades ago, Janet Wong decided to study poetry with Myra Cohn Livingston to "sharpen her prose."


In this session, Janet talks about the benefits of reading poetry and how simply becoming more aware of poetic tools (such as rhyme, repetition, rhythm, alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia, personification, metaphor and simile) will strengthen your picture book writing.


Grab your suitcase and join Janet on this poetic adventure!
