Eastern PA SCBWI Proudly Presents
Picture Book Building Blocks
Webinar with Agent Paige Terlip
Monday May 10, 2021 at 7 PM EST
Registered participants will receive a Zoom link for the live webinar the morning of May 10th.
This webinar will be recorded. Registered participants will have access to
watch the recording for 30 days following the event.
Picture Book Building Blocks is designed to help writers construct stories by introducing tools to create a picture book blueprint, build a strong foundation, and frame their story.
Paige Terlip represents all categories of children’s books from picture books to young adult, as well as select adult fiction and nonfiction.
Across age categories, Paige is drawn to high concept novels with captivating hooks, snarky characters with hearts of gold, creative magic systems, complicated relationships, and found families. She loves well-plotted twists, being a little bit scared, and stories that explore the fluidity of gender and bring the queer experience to light. Regardless of genre, she is seeking inclusive, intersectional voices and gorgeous line-level writing with emotionally compelling narratives. She loves stories that make her feel a range of emotions, even if that means she ugly cries while reading. She wants a narrative that will stick with her long after reading.
Prior to becoming an Associate Agent, Paige was a Senior Assistant for Executive Agent Laura Rennert, and has been with ABLA since 2017. She comes to agenting with a background in marketing, design, and freelance editorial. She’s worked at Charlesbridge Publishing, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and a ranch in the Rockies. She has an MA in Children’s Literature and an MFA in Writing for Children from Simmons University. If she’s not reading, you’ll find her practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, re-watching the Great British Baking Show, or hiking with her Husky-Shepherd mix.
You can find her on Twitter (@pterlip) (https://twitter.com/pterlip) and Instagram (@pterlip) (https://www.instagram.com/pterlip/).
