9 a.m. - 12 noon

New venue: Moncton Lions Community Center

(Just off Vaughn Harvey Blvd., next to Beaverbrook Curling Club, CFB Moncton, etc. 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: Bring your picture book manuscript or if you’re writing for older children or teens, bring your opening pages, and get them critiqued on the spot. If you’re not currently working on a children’s story, don’t worry, we’ll get you started!

And…

Get the inside story. Whether you want to write a blockbuster bestseller like Bridget Jones’s Diary, a traditional Harlequin-style romance, or woman’s erotica, this workshop will show you how.
