Date: 10th March 2025
Time: 7-8 PM GMT
Join the ultimate free workshop where you will learn how to create a captivating story idea that will entice agents and publishers. This is not to be missed.
The workshop is interactive, live and you will be completing tasks throughout.
You will learn more in an hour than you would learn from hours of watching videos alone. It is the best free workshop for writers of children’s and young adult fiction there is.
It is more beneficial if you attend live but if you are unable to do so, everyone who registers will receive a full recording of the masterclass. Please note, the recording will only be available until midnight on the 17th of March (one-week after the workshop).
What You Will Learn
- generate a story idea that agents and publishers will love;
- create convincing characters children and young adults can relate to;
- develop strong plot, structure and writing style;
- prepare your idea for submission and the publishing industry.
