This workshop class is designed to motivate and inspire writers of kids’ books by exploring plot and craft techniques through discussion, peer-sharing, and writing exercises. Come with a work-in-progress–or at least an idea for one. Enrolled students also receive an invitation to join Marcia in additional kids’ book writing opportunities for free.

This class is suitable for writers of all levels.

Marcia Thornton Jones is the author/co-author of more than 135 traditionally published books for kids including the best-selling series, The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids.
