We at CWLA are delighted to be teaming up with the ITSMe Learning Team for our brand new course, Your Picture Book Journey: How To Write And Illustrate Your Own Picture Book.

We’ve teamed up with author-illustrator Sally Anne Garland and the ITSMe Learning Team to give you personalised and professional coaching, industry insights and a clear creative path from concept to page-turner. You’ll have 1:1 meetings with your coach and emailed feedback along the way.⁠

The course is a 12-week creative experience for aspiring writers and visual storytellers ready to craft their own children’s picture book. Whether you are just starting out or you are a seasoned artist ready to tell your own story, this class is designed to help you develop a picture book idea — with expert feedback, privacy and support along the way.⁠

Course dates are Monday 15 September to Friday 5 December 2025. We are now open to applications, at the following link: https://learning.itsme.biz/courses/picture-book-class

Email pbclass@itsmegroup.com if you have any questions about the class, we can’t wait to hear from you.
