In week five, you will learn to structure your story using Blake Snyder’s “Beat Sheet.” Instructor Larissa Brown will lecture on how each stage of the outline aids in developing a well-rounded narrative. She will show you how to create thumbnails for each prompt, structuring out the look of your picture book.

A printable and fillable Beat Sheet is provided in the Reference tab for download.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
