Creating a Solid Foundation for a Children’s Novel (or any Novel) (Online)

A writing workshop with NYTimes Bestselling and Newbery-Honored Author, Adam Gidwitz.

Whether you have no idea what you want your kids novel to be about, or whether you're halfway through writing it, this workshop is designed to help. Adam will break the process of writing a novel down from way before you start writing, showing you how he builds from scribbles in a notepad (or notes in an iPhone) to a fully planned and fleshed out book. There's no one right way to write a novel, but Adam's method may well work for you--or at least give you ideas to add to your own process. There will be time for some Q and A at the end.
