Over the course of four weeks, we'll delve into the magical world of writing for children. This beginner-friendly class is a space to explore ideas for drafting and producing stories for kids of all ages. The class will focus primarily on the art and craft of writing, but we'll also discuss the relationship between words and pictures that is unique to the genre. By the end of the course, you'll be on your way to writing the children’s story you've been wanting to tell.
