AZ SCBWI Book Look Novels - April 2025
Created March 28, 2025 by Tanja Bauerle
What is a Book Look? Join fellow writers and illustrators for a dive into Craft and mentor texts. What makes a PB, MG, or YA novel sell? Let's analyze the factors and explore applying them to our own writing. We will alternate months between picture books and MG/YA. Watch the monthly Bulletin for information on which books will be the focus of discussion.
Our next MB/YA Book Look will take place on April 10, 2025, at 7:00-8:30 pm. We will be looking at Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, one of the earliest YA novels that is still popular today. Let’s discuss our opinions on why this 157-year-old book still inspires filmmakers today. We shall also figure out how to apply what we learned in our own writing.
If you have not read the book yet, you may
1. Find its pdf on Gutenberg,
2. Buy various editions of it on Amazon,
3. Read it on Kindle or listen to it on Audible here,
4. Or watch the 2024 film version here.
No time for reading or watching? You are still welcome. We always cover the synopsis during the opening presentation.
Thank you.
