Beyond the Book Deal: Charting the Path Ahead

With so many daunting hurdles to overcome before embarking on a career writing for children, it’s easy for pre-published writers to become preoccupied by acquiring an agent and making a first sale—not to mention harbor too many doubts about their talents. But are you ready for what happens after your dream of having a book on the shelf comes true? In this workshop, you’ll get a detailed look at what happens afteryou sell your first manuscript and how you can best prepare yourself and stay motivated for the long road ahead. Along with practical information about the publishing industry, this workshop will include exploratory writing prompts to help you clarify your vision and goals in writing stories for young readers.
