Writing
novels that resonate with teenagers can be extremely rewarding—if

through lectures, hands-on writing sessions, and manuscript
critiques with an expert in the field. Workshop sessions include
- tapping your memories to find ideas for young-adult stories;
- writing dialogue;
- creating an internal monologue;
- voice; and
- manuscript revision and critiques.
Guest Faculty Tracy Gates will discuss the author-editor relationship.
