Isabel coaches picture book author Katie Venit as she makes the shift to writing novels. While Katie enjoys planning, outlining, and revising, she feels a lot of resistance to writing the first draft. Isabel coaches Katie on how to lean into her writing strengths and how to use brackets to make drafting easier.

Katie's first two pictures books, FORTS and CASSINI'S MISSION, are due out summer 2025. Learn more about Katie and her work on her website.
