Yes, Virginia, there IS a workshop for children's book writers!
Adults writing for children now have a cozy spot in Old Town to convene, conjure, and communicate. Jane Harrington, Alexandria author of fiction and non-fiction for ages six to fifteen, will lead this three-session workshop designed to encourage writers and share information about children's book publishing.
Whatever your experience level, whatever your genre, you are welcome to participate! Registration will be capped at twelve participants. If you have a work-in-progress, please bring up to eight (double-spaced) pages to the first meeting, with some copies to share.
