This intensive one-day workshop is for anyone who wants to study writing for young readers. We will cover topics such as defining the boundaries of books for children, developing a strong plot, using language effectively, creating memorable characters, and tips on trying to get published. With a combination of group discussion and writing exercises, we will address picture books, early chapter books and writing for teens. Whether you are already an experienced writer for children or have always felt it was something you wanted to try, this could be the perfect way to develop your writing aspirations.
The workshop will take place in the picturesque village of Rottingdean, just three miles east of Brighton. The session will be held in the Whiteway Centre (parking available), and includes a 2-course lunch at French bistro Cafe Gourmand. Advice available if you wish to book accommodation: Laura@lauraatkins.com.
