Make progress on the stories you care about.
Structured training, human feedback and a clearer next step for your manuscript, book dummy or publishing plan.
Your story. Your art. Human creativity. Human support. Ethical AI.
What would you like to make next?
Before the plans and the dates, here is why Creators Pro exists, in Arree’s words.
Hi,
What’s the next piece of work you want to make?
Maybe you have an idea you keep coming back to. Maybe you’ve written a draft, but you’re not sure what it needs. Or you’ve made a book dummy and want help deciding what to do next.
Those are different places to begin. I want you to have a clearer path from where you are to the work you want to make.
That’s the next chapter we’re building at Storyteller Academy.
In 2027, Creators Pro will bring structured training, human feedback and practical support together around your own stories and art. You choose a project that matters to you. The classes and workshops help you work on it.
I’d love to have you join us.
Start with the work you want to make.
You don’t need to work on everything at once. Your next step might be a first complete manuscript, a stronger book dummy, a revision or a publishing plan. The Journey helps you see that next step and find the learning that supports it.
The Author Journey begins with a Prologue and continues through six chapters. You earn each feather through the work you make.
Do you believe in magic?
Explore ideas and begin a creative practice.
What to Do with an Idea
Write your first complete manuscript.
Bring Your Story to Life
Build your first book dummy.
The Art of Revision and Wordsmithing
Practice revision and make every word count.
Show Your Work
Share your stories and start growing your audience.
Choose Your Publishing Adventure
Explore traditional publishing or self-publishing and make a plan for the path that fits your goals.
Launch to Infinity and Beyond
Build your author platform and grow your creative business.
There is also a Journey for author-illustrators, with work that supports both the words and pictures. You do not have to illustrate your own stories to follow the Author Journey.
A rhythm for making progress.
For 2027, we’re planning six 6-week project cycles across the year. You choose the work you want to focus on, make progress, and use what you learn to decide what to try next.
The program brings together:
- Structured training and the Journey. Learn the craft while working toward a creative milestone.
- Weekly feedback workshops with published professionals. Learn from thoughtful responses to work and from seeing how other creators revise.
- Monthly Editor Versus sessions. Hear how editors think about stories and the choices that make them stronger.
- Monthly AI, marketing and business training with Arree. Explore practical ways to research, plan and share your work.
People who can help you see what to try next.
A clear path helps. But you also need someone to look at the work you’re making. In a feedback workshop you share pages, hear what’s working and what to try next, and learn from how other creators revise. The people giving that feedback are published professionals who make children’s books.
“I would not be a published author without Storyteller Academy. I like to say that before SA, I didn’t know how much I didn’t know. Arree’s Making Picture Books class set me on the path that has led to my book launch in just a few weeks!”
Todd Sturgell, author/illustrator of Except Antarctica
“I wanted to learn everything I could about creating picture books. Instructors at Storyteller Academy have introduced me to so many mentor texts. It’s like having a best friend who is super knowledgeable and just piles up your arms with good books. And I don’t just mean the books that have won awards. I mean the books that kids love.”
Laurie Elmquist, author of City BabyThe stories and art stay yours.
I felt threatened by AI at first. It raises real questions for people who care about making original work.
I don’t endorse using AI to write or illustrate our stories. That’s the fun, creative part. That’s ours.
What I want to explore is how it can help around that work: researching the publishing landscape, making a plan, organizing tasks and sharing what you create with readers.
You can ask hard questions and decide where these tools fit your values. You don’t need to use every tool at once.
Is Creators Pro a fit for you?
Creators Pro may be a good fit if you want:
- A clearer next step for a manuscript, dummy, revision or publishing plan.
- A regular rhythm for working on your own projects.
- Training and feedback from people who understand children’s books.
- Support for the practical work of reaching readers while keeping your writing and illustration your own.
Bring your curiosity and a willingness to work on your craft. We can support the work; no membership can promise publication, an agent or a book deal.

Here’s to your next chapter,
Arree
FALL 2026 · CREATOR'S PRO
Your picture book doesn’t need another “someday.”
It needs a plan.
Picture Book Story Lab begins September 28.
CREATOR’S ON DEMAND
You don’t need more talent. You need a way to develop your craft.
The full curriculum and the Story Lab lesson videos. Start today, learn at your own pace. $35 a month or $350 a year.
Join by Thu Oct 1 at 4:00 PM PT (7:00 PM ET) and attend Deconstruct Mentor Texts live with Nadia Salomon, Oct 6 and 7, free.
We help aspiring children's book creators turn the idea in their head into a finished picture book manuscript.
You’ll go from stuck or unsure…
to a picture book manuscript you’re proud of.
Even if you’ve never written one before.
Even if you’re not sure your idea is good enough.
Even if finishing things has… historically not been your superpower.
Ten live sessions, real deadlines, and honest feedback, so the book stops being someday.
We help aspiring children's book creators turn the idea in their head
into a finished picture book manuscript.
You’ll go from stuck or unsure…
to a picture book manuscript you’re proud of.
Even if you’ve never written one before.
Even if you’re not sure your idea is good enough.
Even if finishing things has… historically not been your superpower.
Ten live sessions, real deadlines, and honest feedback, so the book stops being someday.
Knowing how to write a picture book isn’t usually the problem.
You can read another craft book.
Watch another webinar.
Save another post about character arcs, page turns, or endings.
And six months from now, your story can still be sitting exactly where it is today:
in your head.
Because information alone doesn’t finish books.
You need to know what to work on next.
You need a reason to sit down and do it.
And when you hit the inevitable “Wait…is any of this actually working?” moment, you need someone who can help you figure out what comes next.
That’s what Creator’s Pro is built for.
You won't just learn how to make a picture book.
You'll actually make one.
At the center of Creator's Pro this fall is Picture Book Story Lab, a guided experience with Arree Chung, Mondays from September 28 through December 14.
You'll move through your book one stage at a time.
“I would not be a published author without Storyteller Academy. I like to say that before SA, I didn’t know how much I didn’t know. Arree’s Making Picture Books class set me on the path that has led to my book launch in just a few weeks!”
– Todd Sturgell, author/illustrator of Except Antarctica
Fall Semester
Live workshops with published authors and editors. Classes built to take you from idea to finished book. These sessions are scheduled across the year at varied days and times and every one is recorded, You're never locked out by your calendar.
10 LIVE SESSIONS
Picture Book Story Lab
ARREE CHUNG
MONDAYS | September 28 – December 14
Write your picture book manuscript start to finish over ten live sessions. Each session takes the next step, from the first idea to a story that works.
Can't make Mondays? Every session is recorded. Plenty of members do the whole Story Lab on replay and still finish.
Ten Sessions to a Finished Picture Book Manuscript
01 · PREMISE: Find the story worth pursuing.
Choose and sharpen your idea so you know who your story is about, what they want, what gets in their way, and why this particular story matters to you.
02 · STRUCTURE: Give your story somewhere to go.
Learn Arree’s Story Framework and use it to shape the beginning, middle, and end of your own story, so you’re never wondering “okay…now what happens?”
03 · FIRST DRAFT: Get it out of your head and onto the page.
Use the structure you’ve built to create real pages and move toward a complete manuscript. Not perfect pages. Pages you can work with.
04 · DIAGNOSIS: Figure out what your story actually needs.
Learn to spot what’s working, where the story loses energy, and what deserves another look, so the question changes from “what do I write?” to “what would make this stronger?”
05 · REVISION: Turn the promising draft into a stronger book.
Refine the story’s voice, pacing, structure, page turns, and ending using Arree’s revision process. Revision is where you discover what the story can become.
BONUS: Where AI fits.
Get clear on where AI fits in your process, and leave with work you’re proud to show.
The secret ingredient isn’t willpower.
It’s momentum.
A lot of aspiring authors don’t quit because they don’t care enough.
They stop because they get stuck.
One confusing scene becomes a week away from the manuscript.
A week becomes a month.
And suddenly that book you were so excited about is back on the “someday” pile.
Story Lab is deliberately built differently.
You’ll have:
A SCHEDULE
Ten Story Lab sessions with a clear focus and next step.
DEADLINES
Something is waiting for you on the calendar, so the book doesn’t disappear behind everything else in your life.
LIVE INSTRUCTION
Learn the craft when you actually need it, not six months before you’re ready to use it.
FEEDBACK
Stop trying to diagnose every problem alone.
A COHORT
Other creators are working through the same messy middle right alongside you.
REPLAYS
Can’t make Mondays? Every Story Lab session is recorded, so you can keep moving on your schedule.
You still have to write the book.
We just make it much harder for the book to quietly vanish.
And when you get stuck between sessions…
You don’t have to wait until next week.
Creator’s Pro includes Story Coach AI for between-session support.
Use it to think through an idea, troubleshoot a scene, explore possibilities, or figure out your next move.
Because:
“I got stuck on Tuesday” should not become “I stopped writing until December.”
You’ll also receive your Story Diagnosis + Roadmap to help you understand where your story is now and what deserves your attention next.
And your First Draft Finish Plan breaks your progress into weekly milestones tied to Story Lab.
So instead of waking up wondering,
“What am I supposed to work on today?”
you have an answer.
“But what if my story isn’t good enough?”
Good.
Seriously.
It doesn’t need to be good enough yet.
It needs to exist.
One of the hardest parts of creating a picture book is trying to judge an idea before you’ve given it enough shape to judge.
That’s why Creator’s Pro gives you access to working authors, illustrators, editors, and other experienced professionals who can help you see what you’re too close to see yourself.
Not empty encouragement.
Not somebody rewriting the book for you.
Useful feedback that helps you make the next decision.
– Laurie Elmquist, author of City Baby
Hi, I’m Arree Chung.
I’m a published picture book author and illustrator, and the creator of books including Mixed: A Colorful Story and the Ninja! series.
I started Storyteller Academy because there were so many things I wish someone had taught me when I was learning to make picture books.
Since then, I’ve worked with thousands of writers and illustrators at different stages of the process.
Some have gone on to traditional publishing.
Some have self-published.
And some have simply finished a book they’d wanted to make for years.
Storyteller Academy is the school I wish I’d had at the beginning: structured craft instruction, working professionals as teachers, a real creative community, and feedback that helps the work move forward.
If you’re ready to stop thinking about making a picture book and start making one, I’d love to help.
Arree
Story Lab is the starting line.
Creator’s Pro keeps going with you.
Your membership isn’t over when Story Lab wraps on December 14.
Creator’s Pro gives you ongoing access to live workshops and programs designed to help you keep building your skills and your work.
This fall includes sessions such as:
MONTHLY PROGRAMS
OCTOBER 24 | NOVEMBER 14 |
DECEMBER 10
ARREE CHUNG, VANESSA NEWTON
Three seasonal sessions to make something for the time of year. Read and write Halloween stories with Arree, make a holiday card collage with Vanessa Newton, then bring your own holiday book to a live workshop in December. Come for one or take all three.
SEPTEMBER 30 | OCTOBER 14
OCTOBER 28 | NOVEMBER 18
ARREE CHUNG
Start where every illustrator starts: seeing. Four sessions on line, shape, gesture, and the habits that make drawing feel less like a test and more like a language you're learning.
SEPTEMBER 26 | OCTOBER 17 |
NOVEMBER 21 | DECEMBER 12
MELISSA MANLOVE
Most writers never hear how an editor actually thinks. Across four sessions, editor Melissa Manlove works through illustrators, dialogue, the quiet manuscript, and why editors say no. Nothing softened for the room.
1-DAY & 2-DAY WORKSHOPS
SEPTEMBER 23
NADIA SALOMON
Bring your manuscript or your art. Get honest, specific notes from a professional, and find out what's already working.

- By then, you’ll have enough real experience with Creator’s Pro to decide whether it’s right for you.
If it isn’t, write to us within your first two months and ask for a full refund.
Do the work. See if it works for you. Keep going only if it does.
They Took the Leap and Brought Their Stories to Life
– Bonnie Kelso, author/illustrator of Nudi Gill: Poison Powerhouse of the Sea
“Storyteller Academy gave me the encouragement and tools to turn my fine art background into a burgeoning career in illustration. This means the world to me, because, I have always known that I wanted to write and illustrate children’s stories since I was little girl stapling copy paper together to make my own books. However, I was lacking mentorship and direction; I never knew anyone who had walked the path before me. I am grateful to Storyteller Academy for carving a clear path that showed me that my lifelong dream is tangible with actionable steps and building supportive relationships.”
– LaTonya Jackson, Illustrator of Hair and the Holy Spirit

What if I can’t attend the live workshops?
Every live workshop is recorded and added to the course library. Many members work through the program using the replays.
How much time do I need each week?
Most members spend about 2 to 3 hours a week: roughly an hour in the live Story Lab session and another hour or two on your own work. But it flexes to your life.
Every session is recorded, so you can watch on your own schedule, and you can put in more during a free week and less during a busy one. The members who finish aren’t the ones with the most time. They’re the ones who keep showing up, even in small pieces.
I’m a writer, not an illustrator (or vice versa), will this work for me?
You belong here. You do not need to illustrate your own book to participate in Story Lab or Creator’s Pro. Picture books live at the intersection of words and pictures. Creator’s Pro is built for both. We have writers learning illustration fundamentals and illustrators learning story structure side-by-side.
Booking your bonus 1:1 with Arree, Nadia, or Tim
After you join, you’ll get an email with a link to book your session.
Can I switch from Monthly to Annual later?
Yes. Just email support@storytelleracademy.com and we’ll switch you over and pro-rate your remaining time.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Try Creator’s Pro for two months. Come to the Story Lab workshops live or watch the replays, and do the exercises. If Pro isn’t the right fit, write to us inside those first two months and we’ll refund you in full.
What happens after the fall semester ends?
Your membership continues. Storyteller Academy runs three semesters a year (Spring, Summer, Fall), so when one wraps, the next begins. Annual members get all three semesters in one payment.
I’ve never written a children’s book before?
You’re exactly who Story Lab is designed to help. We’ll begin with the idea and build from there. You don’t need a finished manuscript, or even a perfect premise, to start.
I have several ideas and don’t know which one to choose.
Also normal. The opening phase of Story Lab is designed to help you clarify and strengthen your premise before you commit months of energy to it.
I’m not sure whether I’m a writer or illustrator yet.
That’s okay too. You don’t need to pick an identity before you’re allowed to create. Start with the book.
I’m busy. What if I fall behind?
You can use the recordings and work at your own pace. The live schedule is there to create momentum, not punish you for having a life.
I’ve bought courses before and didn’t finish them.
Creator’s Pro isn’t built around giving you another giant pile of lessons to consume. Story Lab gives you a defined project, dated sessions, milestones, feedback, and a cohort moving through the same process. And the Two-Month Fit Guarantee gives you time to actually experience that difference before deciding whether to stay.
Will Creator’s Pro get me published?
No program can promise publication, an agent, or a book deal. Creator’s Pro helps you develop your craft, finish stronger work, get informed feedback, and understand more about the professional picture-book world. What happens after that depends on your work, your goals, and the path you choose.
There will always be another reason to wait.
You could wait until life gets quieter.
Until you know more.
Until you find the perfect idea.
Until you feel like a “real” author.
But books don’t get written when you finally feel ready.
They get written one decision, one page, and one revision at a time.
Picture Book Story Lab begins Monday, September 28, 5:00 PM PDT (8:00 PM EDT).
If you want this to be the season your picture book finally moves from “someday” to something real, come join us.
