Piedmont Laureate: 5 NC Creators Talk Writing and Illustrating for Kids

If you’ve ever thought of writing a children’s book, this event’s for you. Join this year’s Piedmont Laureate, Kelly Starling Lyons, for a conversation with nationally acclaimed North Carolina children’s book creators John Claude Bemis, Clay Carmichael, Jacqueline Ogburn, and Donna Washington about the whole children’s book creation process. These five writers, illustrators, storytellers, educators, and editors will share their publishing journeys, tips on creating for children, and insight into the children’s literature field.

This event is part of the Piedmont Laureate program, and is co-sponsored by the Orange County Arts Commission, the Chapel Hill Public Library, the Orange County Public Library, and Flyleaf Books.
