Writing for kids and teenagers has always been a challenge – they’re ruthless and quick to abandon a book at first sight of a paragraph that’s too flowery – but it feels especially so now.

This online workshop with Will Kostakis will guide you through the crafting process, from generating an idea that captivates a young reader to building scenes that feel authentic, with a series of practical exercises designed to elevate your writing.

This workshop will also feature actionable advice that will help your work appeal to publishers and readers alike, and help you survive the ups and downs of a rapidly evolving industry.

This writing course, Writing for Middle Grade and YA with Will Kostakis, will be held online.
