Writing for children is a fun and rewarding experience but it does come with its unique challenges. During this master class, we will work on locking down the: Why, the Who, and the How (so that we can navigate those challenges with ease.)

Whether you already have a story in mind or have always dreamt about writing a children's book, this class is for you.

We will be diving into, “why” we want to write for children, “who” our target audience is, and How to create a story that they will love. This is a safe space to explore thoughts, and ideas and get some helpful and actionable advice so you can move forward with confidence. I consider it a true privilege to write for young readers and strongly believe that when we have a firm understanding of our own “why, who, & how” we can create stories that will become a cherished memory for a child.
