Do you have an idea for a children’s book but don’t know how to get started? Whether your idea is more suitable for young readers or older, now’s the time to dust off that idea and turn it into a reality.
During this workshop, some of the topics covered will be:
– writing for a specific age group
– setting the scene
– developing characters
– developing plot
– illustrations
Come prepared to write! Bring along writing tools so you can practice writing for children and get feedback.

She is now the grandmother to a ten-year-old, who continues to inspire her love for children’s literature.
