Children’s Writing Workshops
Whether you’re just starting to explore the vast field of writing for children, or have a specific fiction or nonfiction project you want to complete, we can help you reach your writing goals.
Focus On Writing Fiction For Children
Children’s publishing is a vibrant yet challenging market for today’s writers. Editors say that 95% of submissions are poorly written and inappropriate. Because children have short attention spans and a wide range of reading abilities, it takes more than just a good story to be successful.
Work with a professional children’s author to take your writing skills to the next level, and interact with other children’s writers. You will also find ways to take the seemingly abstract concepts behind writing for children and apply them to the story or novel you are working on. By the conclusion of this workshop, you will have written and revised up to 2000 words of fiction for children.

Focus On Writing Nonfiction For Children
Are you looking to break into children’s writing, but have a growing collection of rejections from your fiction submissions? Try writing nonfiction for children! Like the nonfiction market for adults, the nonfiction children’s market is easier to break into. Covering topics from biographies to history to science to sports, you will be able to find something to write either books or articles about. Editors are always looking for writers who can deliver well-researched, interesting nonfiction written specifically for children and teens.
Work with a published writer of nonfiction to develop, research and write two pieces of nonfiction suitable for publication.

Fundamentals Of Writing For Children
Writing for children can be both personally and professionally rewarding. It means returning to a child’s point of view, full of wonder when learning something new and letting your imagination run wild. Bright, curious young readers demand realistic compelling characters and exciting plots just as much – if not more – than their adult counterparts.
While the focus of this workshop is fiction, the basic fundamentals can be applied to children’s nonfiction as well. Work with a published children’s author to write a complete children’s story book or chapters (up to 2000 words), for ages anywhere from five to fifteen.
