How do we begin a children’s novel? What writing techniques help us create engaging characters and a compelling hook that keeps young readers turning the pages? Literary agents and publishers often look closely at first chapters – so what are they looking for, and how can we get it right?
This workshop focuses on crafting the opening of a middle grade or young adult novel. Through writing exercises and discussion, you’ll explore character, plot and setting, while beginning to develop your own ideas on the page.
Hosted by Dr. Lindsey Scott & Dr. Darragh Martin, University of Suffolk.
