Do you have a nonfiction idea for kids that you'd love to flesh out into a book? It might be contemporary, historical, or even memoir. Together we'll learn what makes a book proposal for a young readership convincing and compelling. We'll talk about nailing down your target audience (say, elementary school vs. high school), fleshing out a marketing plan, and building your platform.

We'll also look at how to write in a voice that pulls in young readers. Ideal for nonfiction writers who are ready to write for kids!
