The Creator’s Blueprint from Spark to Screen by Angela C. Santomero & Illustrated by Stephanie Six
Signed COPY
A WORKbook, not just a book.
Most aspiring creators have an idea. Very few have a process.
The Creator's Blueprint is the step-by-step, 225 page, working workbook Angela C. Santomero built during 30+ years of making preschool media and television.
Part master class, part creative companion. Readers write, sketch, test, and build in it, page by page.
Inside is the real framework behind her hit shows - exercises, templates, and case studies, including the formative research with children that defines her career.
Beautiful. Practical. Inspiring.
WHAT YOU GET
- A clear Big Idea and the audience it is truly for
- Characters and a world preschoolers want to return to
- The Story Engine: what happens every episode, and why it never runs dry
- Episode ideas, a pilot concept, and a pitch readers can actually deliver - with curriculum baked in, never bolted on
