novels that resonate with teenagers can be extremely rewarding—if
you know what subjects and writing styles appeal to this specialized

through lectures, hands-on writing sessions, and manuscript
critiques with an expert in the field.
This workshop will help you
- tap your memories to find ideas for young-adult stories;
- develop captivating dialogue;
- create engaging internal monologue;
- identify voice; and
- revise your manuscript and work with an editor.
Preworkshop assignment: Two weeks before the workshop begins,
an outline of a novel plus fifteen manuscript pages are required.
