Kidlit Summer School: Get it Write this Summer

Kidlit Summer School 2014: Building Character!

Preregistration ended on July 6, and now regular registration begins. What’s the difference? While all preregistered participants were eligible for certain prizes, there is no difference in the program itself.  All who preregistered, along with all who fill out the regular registration form, are eligible for the rest of the giveaways throughout Summer School. These will include books signed by the faculty, manuscript critiques, several stacks of books donated by publishers, and more! So what are you waiting for? If you haven’t registered yet, go ahead! Regular registration has been extended to July 25 to allow people to see the first couple of posts.

This year’s Summer School focuses on Character Development

So if you…

• are looking for a way to keep writing through the dog days of summer,
• want to be inspired by some of the best writers in children’s literature,
• and hope to create irresistable characters

You should join a fun and fabulous community of  people who are as passionate about kidlit as you are!

Enroll in Summer School now! (It’s free!)

Kidlit Summer School is a blog-based four week writer’s workshop that will run from July 21 through August 15. Because we (Kami and Sudipta) both enjoy teaching writing classes, we wanted to find a way to offer craft-based writing advice on a particular topic each summer. Our 2014 course is going to focus on writing great characters.

Daily blog posts by authors and writing professionals will offer inspiration and help you hone your craft. Our “faculty” includes award-winning PB, MG and YA authors! Many of their bios are already up on our faculty page, and we’ll be adding more soon!

Kidlit Summer School is for anyone one who loves to write children’s literature, from accomplished writers, to those just starting out.
