Workshops for Children's Writers and Illustrators

For twenty-seven years, the Highlights Foundation has been fulfilling its mission of improving the quality of children's literature by helping authors and illustrators hone their craft.

Founders Workshops

In May 2000, we piloted a small workshop at the former home of the Founders of Highlights for Children, near the Highlights office in northeastern Pennsylvania. These workshops have grown to almost three dozen offerings a year. They are typically single-topic sessions, three to seven days, led by top professionals in the children’s publishing industry. These workshops are designed to help authors and illustrators achieve their creative goals.
