Join E.R. Murray, author of The Book of Learning Trilogy, for this fun, writing-intensive workshop for adults. Get an insight into the art of writing for young readers through discussion and writing exercises, and explore essential elements of the craft such as character, age ranges and genres, setting, pacing, dialogue, and world building. You will also consider the personal mechanics of writing, such as time management and motivation, while building an invaluable toolbox that will help you to write engaging and exciting stories for young readers. There will also be time to ask questions about your own projects and writing journey.
