Jump Start Your Young Adult and Middle-Grade Book – Workshop

Do you have an idea for a book you’ve been dying to dig into? In this workshop, participants will explore and map out idea(s) for Young Adult and Middle-Grade novels and discuss techniques for a successful first one to three pages of a project to hook the reader for the chapters to come. No formal writing experience is needed, just an excitement for storytelling. This workshop will last one hour and will begin with a brief ice-breaker and continue with two activities.
