Announcing the 2nd Annual Writing for Charity Event, sponsored by Utah Children’s Book Authors and Deseret Book. This special workshop event features more than 20 published children’s book authors of both picture books and young adult fiction.
Authors scheduled to participate include Brandon Mull (Fablehaven), Shannon Hale (Princess Academy), Rick Walton (Once There Was a Bull....frog and more than 30 other picture books), and Anne Bowen (What DO Teachers Do (After YOU Leave School)).
For a complete list of participating authors please download a registration form.
The Writing for Charity Event, a workshop for aspiring children’s book writers (age 13 and up only), will provide participants with professional advice and the opportunity to have their work evaluated by one of the event’s participating authors. The event includes the opportunity to purchase books and have books signed. Participants can also purchase drawing tickets for great prizes, including signed books and a book bag signed by all of the participating authors.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the non-profit Treehouse Children’s Museum and its award-winning Family Literacy Programs. Writers of children’s picture books should bring a full manuscript (fewer than 1,000 words), and chapter book authors should bring the book’s first page for the critique. Participants are not required to bring work sample for the critique session.
Please note that because of the length of the workshop and the set-up required, Treehouse will be closed to the public that day (Saturday, August 29.)
This event is generously sponsored by
