Event Information
Write a Book Series for Kids
Thinking about writing a kids’ book series but not sure where to start? In this fun, hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into what makes young readers fall in love with a story and come back for the next book. You’ll get tips on creating memorable characters, building a world kids want to hang out in, and coming up with plots that keep the pages turning. We’ll look at real examples and talk through how to turn one great idea into a full series.
