March 27, 2015 True Confessions of a Picture Book Writer: Charlotte Sullivan


True Confessions of a Picture Book Writer:
Charlotte Sullivan

Charlotte Sullivan will discuss her creative process on her current picture book project, a biography of poet and rights activist Carl Sandburg. How does an artist use research to tell a good story? How does one find the heartbeat in a thousand facts? How does one convey a life story in a few hundred words? If you’ve every wondered how picture books are made or if you’re a creative writer yourself, be sure to stop by! (Bring a notebook…you might even do a little writing yourself!)

 

Charlotte Sullivan's picture book work has received a Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant, a Metro Regional Arts Council Next Step Fund Grant, an InterMedia Arts Beyond the Pure Fellowship Grant, and a Loft Literary Center Shabo Picture Book Award. She has hosted KFAI's Write On! Radio program and served as an educator for nearly two decades, specializing in children's literature and creative writing. She taught English at Normandale Community College from 2007-2014 and served as the Visiting Scholar in Children’s Literature in 2011-2012.
