On February 5, please join us for Do You Want to Write for Kids?, a Writer’s Studio workshop hosted by Kath Rothschild.

In this workshop we’ll explore the differences in kid lit genres, and where your ideas might fit into the complex kid-book world. From picture books and chapter books to middle grade and young adult, we’ll learn what makes each genre unique, and where your story would shine most brightly. Taking time to develop ideas, this workshop will encourage you to delve deeper with your current ideas or draft and figure out what your dream can become and where it might go!

Kath Rothschild is a Lecturer in the Program in Writing and Rhetoric at Stanford University who has an MFA in Fiction Writing and a PhD in Applied Linguistics.
