Writing a Children's Novel

What do young readers enjoy in 2025? Should I write what I want to write, or should I think about what's currently selling? How can I keep children and young adults interested in my novel in a world of ten second videos and micro-updates? Children's Writing Fellow, Shirley-Anne McMillan, will address your questions in this relaxed writing workshop exploring various aspects of writing for children age 9 -18+. Suitable for beginners and those who have been writing for some time. Bring a notebook and pen/pencil.
