Writing for Teens? Then Think Like One

September 22, 2011

Writing for teens? Free this Saturday? Then come to Newport Beach! I’ll be there presenting “Writing for Teens? Then Think Like One” at the Southern California Writers’ Conference – LA this Saturday, Sept 24, 2011. Here’s the session description:

Whether your narrator is your young main character or an all-knowing omniscient being, there are ways to convince young readers that you understand them and their view of the world—and to hook’em good and hard in the process. This session teaches techniques for creating a narrative sensibility that reflects the way teens think, resulting in teen fiction that “clicks” with young readers.

Click on over to the SCWC website for details about this conference, which runs Sept 23-25. Hope to see you there!
