Description

Dragons! Pirates! Cowgirls! Mastodon-sized dung beetles! Children’s fiction never fails to let a writer’s imagination go wild. In this hands-on workshop, adult writers will delve into the world of writing picture books, middle grade, or YA fiction. Learn how to craft compelling stories and characters that will make young readers want to keep turning pages. Works-in-progress are welcome, with constructive critique provided in a supportive environment. And get real world advice on the publishing industry to help your manuscripts stand out in a crowd.

This class skips November 5 for NJEA Weekend and November 26 for Thanksgiving week.
