Writing for Children: From Manuscript to Published Book

When: Tuesday March 25, 2025, from 7:00-8:30pm

Level: Beginner & Intermediate

Age Group: 18+

Description: The path from writing a complete manuscript to holding a published book in your hands is twisty, bumpy, and long. This workshop will introduce writers to the milestones they may encounter along the way to traditional publication, including the role of agents, work for hire options, and more. There will be ample time for questions and discussion.

By the end of this workshop, participants will understand the process of getting a children’s book traditionally published.
