In this informal workshop for writers of all levels, established children’s author Deb Lund guides you through the unwritten rules and puzzle pieces of writing and publishing for children. You’ll unmask the stories you tell yourself that interfere with your goals and learn to give yourself permission to play. Come dabble with exercises that will generate ideas, weave in layers, and piece together manuscripts. Don’t look for lectures and assignments – this is a hands-on dialog and writing play date with group feedback. Transforming the maze into the amazing can be messy. Wear play clothes!
