Workshops

Writing Jewish-Themed Children’s Books 2014 | June 8 – June 11

A hands-on workshop specifically designed for writers of Jewish-themed content. Whether your manuscript has slight or overwhelming Jewish content, this is the workshop for you. Unlike a one-day conference, this workshop includes one-on-one manuscript critiques with a literary agent or editor and time to revise. There’ll also be two group critiques.

In addition, you’ll learn

The future of Jewish children’s literature;
What agents and editors look for;
Best practices in writing Jewish content for children.

We can’t promise contracts, but we can promise craft, camaraderie, and community.
