10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
(But note, the instructor will be around till 4:30 to look at samples of your work.)
Newmarket Community Centre and Lion's Hall
200 Doug Duncan Drive, Newmarket (Map here.)
Whether you want to write the next best-selling children’s books or just want to create stories for your own kids, this workshop is for you. Learn how to write stories kids and young adults will love, and find out what you need to know to sell your book.
Special option: You may, but don't have to, bring 2 or 3 copies of the opening couple pages (first 500 words) of your children’s book or young adult novel. (Or if 750 words will get you to the end of your picture book or to the end of your first chapter, bring that.) If you’re not currently working on a children’s story, don’t worry, we’ll get you started on the spot!
Workshop leader Brian Henry has been a book editor and creative writing instructor for more than 25 years. He is also the author of a children’s version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Tribute Publishing Inc).

"Brian’s the real deal. He isn't just an
inspiring teacher – he's plugged into the publishing world! He got me an agent
who sold my first novel, Bitten, to publishers around the world. More recently,
my young adult novel, The Awakening, hit number 1 on the New York Times
bestsellers' list. And Random House Canada, Bantam U.S. and Little Brown in
Britain have contracted my next seven books."
