So you want to write for children? Great! By tackling challenging questions and examining the expectations at stake, this workshop will help craft your story and understand the business of Kidlit.
So you want to write for children? Great! This course will help you craft your story and understand the business of Kidlit. As we examine the genre, we will tackle challenging questions. Who is each story for? Does it appeal to children and adults in different ways? What assumptions does it make about the world of childhood and the relationships children have? How does it obscure, reveal, comment on, or attempt to change the truths of life—things like love, desire, satisfaction, hurt, difference, and sickness? What values does it establish—or subvert? What values or expectations are at stake as the story or pattern unfolds? We'll use questions like these to help drive our plots and ideas!
