Calling all children’s writers:
Registration is now open for Intermediate Writing for Children at the University of Washington, part of the UW Writing for Children Certificate program. (You can
jump in mid-year to the certificate program if space is available, and
this year, it is!) If you are a writer with basic knowledge
about children’s books, and the beginnings of a manuscript, but
you’ve always wanted to delve deeper into your craft, this is the class
for you!

for you!
We’ll study the work of accomplished children’s writers and
have visits from three local picture book and YA authors, as well as the
acquiring editor for the new Sasquatch children’s book line.
Each session in this 10-week course focuses on a different craft topic,
from plot, to character development to setting, to dialogue, offering a
mini-workshop chock full of writing exercises. You’ll also work on your
own manuscripts and get lots of constructive feedback through weekly
critique groups and the chance to turn your draft in for a critique from
me.
