An IN-PERSON Children’s Book Workshop
ALL LEVELS
Are you writing for young people? Are you searching for the true heart of story? In this workshop, the focus will be on prompts designed to help you find out the path your project wishes to take. Whether you are working on a picture book, a chapter book, or a young adult novel, come ready to listen to your book in progress, or perhaps to catch a brand new idea.
For the workshop’s opening activity, it is essential that you bring a photo of the child or teen you once were (or, if this is not possible, a photo of a beloved young person whom you know well). If you have a favorite children’s book, please bring this, too.
Come prepared to write, write, write.
+ PLEASE NOTE This workshop will occur in-person at USM in Portland Maine. The week of the workshop, students will be emailed the exact location of the class.
Charlotte Agell is the author/illustrator of fourteen books for children and young adults, as well as one book for teachers. The New York Times has called her work “ebullient.” Her recent picture book Maybe Tomorrow? (illus. by Ana Ramirez Gonzalez) won a Maine Literary Award in 2020. Visit her site: www.charlotteagell.com for more information.
