The Collingwood Public Library presents....
Writing for Children & for Young Adults ~ the world’s hottest market

Saturday, August 12, 2017
10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Collingwood Public Library, 55 Ste Marie St, Collingwood, Ontario (Map here)

Note: Starting in September, I'm offering a weekly Writing Kid Lit course. See here. ~Brian

If 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 3 copies of the opening couple pages (first 500 words) of your children’s book or young adult novel (or 1,000 words if that will get you to the end of your picture book or to the end of your first chapter.) If you’re not currently working on a children’s story, don’t worry, we’ll get you started on the spot!
