  The Writers Workshop at Chautauqua

This summer, spend a week learning from and getting to know children’s book and magazine editors, award-winning authors, and prize-winning illustrators. Work one-on-one with a publishing professional to polish and shape your manuscript. Wander shady streets between historic gingerbread houses with people who are eager to talk about writing for children. Sit on a porch and critique manuscripts, grab a coffee or dip into a bowl of ice cream—experience creative renewal in a unique setting.

Founders Workshops

In May 2000, we piloted a small workshop at the former home of the Founders of Highlights for Children, near the Highlights office in northeastern Pennsylvania. These workshops have grown to more than two dozen offerings for 2007. They are typically single-topic sessions, three or four days, with eight to fifteen participants. Like the Chautauqua workshops, these sessions are led by successful, supportive authors and editors determined to help writers meet their goals.

Whole Novel Workshop
June 14–21, 2008
October 11–18, 2008


A new program, founded and directed by Carolyn Coman and specifically designed for writers of middle-grade and young-adult novels, our Whole Novel Workshop offers the one-on-one attention to be found in degree programs, but without additional academic requirements, lengthy time commitments, or prohibitive financial investments. Our aim is to focus on a specific work in progress, moving a novel to the next level, in preparation for submission to agents or publishers.
