Join this engaging six-week workshop and explore the art of storytelling from picture books and chapter books to middle grade and young adult novels.

Writing children’s books is a peculiar art form that can breathe new life into any writing endeavor. It thrives on genius, intuition, daring, and meticulous attention to all components of writing. Picture books can inspire deep thinking and meaningful writing for all levels of life. It’s an excellent way to spread the principles of Buddhism and preserve the stories of your culture.

Led by Jin Rou Shi & Natasha Yim, each session will include craft lessons and workshop activities. There will also be three special guests.

In this class you will learn:

• Elements of character development
• Plot structure
• Narrative arcs
• Creating great dialogue
• Setting scenes … and more!
