MIDDLE GRADE/YOUNG ADULT WORKSHOP

A Plot To Be Desired

Emily Lloyd-Jones

There is nothing more daunting than a blank page. When should you begin a story? What ideas can you include and which ones do you leave out? How do you introduce characters? And how do you hook a young reader? In this workshop, participants will study how to craft an emotionally resonant narrative for middle graders and young adults. Learn how to take your ideas and turn them into a whole story, from a gripping first paragraph to a satisfying conclusion.
