Last weekend I hosted a fun workshop with SCBWI! It was three hours long and I had a blast rambling on and on. In preparation for it, I filmed this short walkthrough as a practice for the real thing and thought I’d post it here for you Cool Kids in case you missed the workshop!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a lovely week!
