“I hardly knew a thing about writing children’s books, let alone good ones, and I wasn't sure where to begin until …”
I took the course from Savannah. I know so much more about the process of writing and publishing children's literature. I feel much more confident in my ability to write children's picture books, and I am thrilled with the results I wrote while under her direction."
