Writing Workshop for Kids ages 9-12 with Author Jen Malone
Author Jen Malone will lead a writing workshop for kids ages 9-12 on Wednesday, November 4 from 3:30-5 p.m. In this workshop, participants will create a character from scratch. Breaking into groups, participants will dress her, create a collection for her, or decorate her room while others draw maps of her town or an agreed upon setting for our story. Once we know who she is and where she lives, we’ll work together to start her on an adventure. Then, participants will each write a finish to her story and complete our session with a read-aloud of our character’s many alternative endings!
Jen Malone writes books for tweens and teens. Her middle grade titles include At Your Service, the You’re Invited series (co-written with Gail Nall), and next year’s The Sleepover, all with Simon & Schuster/Aladdin. Her Young Adult titles (with HarperCollins/HarperTeen) include Map to the Stars and the forthcoming Wanderlost with HarperCollins. You can learn more about her and her titles at www.jenmalonewrites.com.
