Our latest Nosy Crow Masterclass took place on Saturday – How to Write Picture Books – and it was another fantastically creative, inspiring, and informative day, filled with advice, lessons and guidance on writing picture books. The day included brilliant sessions from Nosy Crow’s Managing Director, Kate Wilson, literary agent Louise Lamont and Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam and Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble author Tracey Corderoy. And as well as these individual talks, we also offered one-to-one manuscript critiques to all of our attendees, along with lunch, wine, and lots more. And here’s what some of our attendees said on Twitter and Facebook afterwards:
Still buzzing from yesterday's #PB masterclass hosted by the fabulously funny @NosyCrow of @NosyCrowBooks. With invaluable #writerslife experience from @TraceyCorderoy & #amquerying gems from @LLMonts, the day was a PB writer's dream!
Now to get cracking on those rewrites…

Buzzing with excitement after an all day picture book writing/publishing masterclass in London at @NosyCrow, led by their MD Kate Wilson. Learned more in 6 hours than the last 6 months under my own steam. Also check out these original pieces on the wall! pic.twitter.com/cMbIuPL9la

I’ve spent an amazing day @NosyCrow with Kate Wilson and Tom, learning more about writing picture books. I’m really hoping they’ll like my Rainbow Owls series! https://t.co/v81D98p4yK I’d love to be published by Nosy Crow – love their ethos.
