If Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, changed your life, then this seminar is for you! Young Adult publishing is currently experiencing a new golden age, and teen novels are more diverse, edgy, and emotionally compelling than ever. This class focuses on the process of writing for tweens and adolescents, including everything from outlining and plotting, to characterization, authenticity of voice, narrative structure, and, of course, how to revise — fearlessly. Limited to 15 students.
