"Who's the Seuss?"
Are you the next Dr. Seuss, J.K. Rowling or Stephanie Meyer?

Join two publishing insiders for a fact-filled, hands-on, all-questions-answered, FUN workshop on how to get your children's or young adult book published!

Get all of you questions answered, including:
- How do I get started?
- Where do I get ideas from?
- Where and how do I submit?
- How do I meet editors and agents?
- How do I know if my manuscript is ready?
- What is an elevator pitch and do I need one?
- How do I write a query letter that gets read?

Plus, special segments on:
- How to act like you're ‘in the club" until you are in the club
- Writing that great first sentence, aragraph, page and chapter an editor or agent can't resist
- Our "we've-been-in-your-shoes-so-here's-the-real-deal" tips on how to get that big break.
