Learn to Write for Children and Young Adults

Go Back

Via Zoom

Children's books are fun to read and can be just as fun to write. Would you like to share your stories with your children, grandchildren or maybe get published but are unsure where to start?. Maybe you've been working on a story or novel for young people, but don’t know where to get feedback. In this workshop we will cover it all.

"In this workshop, we’ll spark our creativity with in-class prompts and (optional) take-home exercises, receiving supportive feedback."

The fee for the 6-week, 12-hour workshop is $150. Workshop is limited to 6 students.
