These free, monthly workshops are held on the third Saturday of the month, and offer writers of every genre and skill level an opportunity to learn, experiment and develop their craft. We hope you’ll join us!
Let’s explore the many adventures and colorful characters we encounter through children’s literature. Participants will discuss favorite stories from childhood, and what makes for an unforgettable tale that stays with us for a lifetime. We will explore how to craft characters, themes, storylines, and develop style all by digging into your vision. Join us as we learn what it takes to weave our ideas into a beloved children’s book!
