The market is veering more and more toward "high concept" and not every writer and illustrator understands just what that means. Most of the stories I see are just too...small in their scope and in their thinking.

Mary Kole, agent with the legendary Andrea Brown Literary agency, founder of the award-winning blog Kidlit and author of THE KIDLIT WRITER'S GUIDEBOOK, will give a presentation as well as lead us through exercises and a discussion on what high concept means and what it means for your work. 

Join us for this small group, master class and gain insight to enlarge the scope of your projects and think big, in ways that will exceed the expectations of your readers. Bring your work in progress or your ideas for a new project to use during the exercises.

Mary will be available afterward for a limited number of private critiques. Her interests include young adult and middle grade novels and truly exceptional, funny, quirky and character-driven picture books (she especially loves working with author/illustrators).
