NOVELS FOR YOUNG WRITERS WITH Jonathan Maberry
DATE/TIME: 1st and 3rd Wednesday of Each Month , 4-5:30 pm. Note: Classes will not be held during the summer. They will resume in September.
FEE: Open
to young writers age 14 and older. The program fee is $75.00 per
month (two 90-minute class per month, plus online group).
COURSE
DESCRIPTION: This program is modeled after our
highly successful "Write Your Novel in 9 Months" program.
In this series, the young writers will meet twice a month at the
Writers Corner with Jonathan Maberry, author of 20 books. At the
beginning of the program students will learn how to develop
their story ideas into workable outlines; and over the course
of the school year will work them into completed first drafts
of a Young Adult novel.
This program will help aspiring
writers make a serious step toward breaking into the writing business.
The market is hungry for books for kids written by kids (as seen
with Eragon, the bestseller written by a teenager, Christopher
Paolini).
Bonus! In addition, a top New York literary agent has agreed
to read books from the program.
