Writing for the Non-Adult
Do you want to write a story for young people but don’t know where to start? In this lively workshop Author Kathryn Sullivan will steer you in the right direction. We’ll consider what young people generally want out of a story as well as the differences between writing for children vs middle grade vs young adults. The presentation will also cover current and upcoming trends in the market and some of the best ways to promote your books for young people. Bring your questions for this Zoom workshop.
