What  students are saying

Rita Benson

"Thanks to Lorette’s course, I not only created and self-published my very first children’s picture book, I actually enjoyed every step of the journey. It’s been such a rewarding experience that I’ve now gone on to make another five! My grandkids can’t get enough of them."

Marg Miziewicz

"Before this course, I never imagined I could create a real children’s book. Lorette walked me through every step. I now know how to structure a picture book from start to finish—and I’ve already published my first one, with another on the way!"

Lucinda Gifford

"I’d always dreamed of writing and illustrating a picture book, but didn’t know how to begin. Lorette’s experience and warmth gave me the confidence to take the next step. Her course gave me the structure I needed to bring my dream to life."

Hi, I’m Lorette, 

I’m a picture book creator and teacher, and I’ve spent more than 25 years making children’s books and helping others bring their ideas to life. Over the past several years I’ve poured what I know into From Idea to Published Picture Book – the course I wish I’d had when I was starting out.

Whether you’re a mum, grandma or someone with a story to tell, I’ll guide you through the same step-by-step process I use for my own books and help you keep going when life gets busy.

I believe everyone has a story worth sharing, and with the right support you can make it happen.
