SUMMARY:Creating Picture Book Magic with Matt Forrest Esenwine
DESCRIPTION:Some of the stories we remember most are the ones someone read to us. From favorite bedtime books to holiday stories brought out year after year\, picture books have a way of staying with us long after childhood.

Drawing on his book I Am Today and other examples\, Matt will share how carefully chosen words\, thoughtful page turns\, and illustrations work together to create stories that readers want to revisit. He’ll also offer insight into the creation and submission processes\, including potential pitfalls. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn:\n\nWhat makes writing a picture book different from other forms of writing.\nHow to balance descriptive details with room for illustrations.\nHow page turns and plot pacing keep readers engaged.\nWhy word economy matters—and how to make every word count.\nHow an illustrator you might never meet becomes an essential storytelling partner.\nWhat to consider when submitting your work to publishers.\n\nWhether you’re imagining a holiday tale\, drawing on a childhood memory\, or exploring an entirely new idea\, this beginner-friendly webinar will help you take the next step toward a picture book of your own. \nEvent Details:\n\nDate: Wednesday\, December 16\, 2026\nTime: 7:00 – 8:30pm\nLocation: NHWP Zoom Room\nCost: $35 for NHWP members | $45 for non-members\nAdditional information\, including Zoom link\, will be emailed 1 to 2 days prior to the event.\nRegister: https://nhwp.app.neoncrm.com/event-detail?event=2924\n\nAbout Matt Forrest Esenwine:\nMatt Forrest Esenwine is the author of more than a dozen children’s books including the Kirkus-starred Flashlight Night (Astra Young Readers\, 2017) and I Am Today (POW!
