What customers are saying:

"Wow, I just watched the videos and I must say, I really loved every bit of the lessons, especially the clarity of your instructions. After watching the videos, I got a clear vision of what my own picture book could look like in terms of the plot and I'm feeling really excited about this. Thanks a ton, Brooke." - Daniella Namubiru -

"This has been so helpful! Not only did I change my first story, I threw it out altogether and came up with a much better storyline and plot. Understanding the skeleton of a story sure makes it easier to flesh it out. Thank you!" - Libby Lefler -

"I love the idea of following this plot line! I’ve been able to use it on two picture books I’m working on and could see where one was lacking. Thanks so much for all the instruction. I’m loving this boot camp!" - Nancy Tavares -
