Join our free Writing Workshop! Enter our Free Contest!

If you are a middle school student in Contra Costa County, you should join author Sarah Wilson and me on January 30 or February 6 for a free writing workshop through our libraries.  The registration form is on an earlier post below, or at right.

Why should you donate a morning to come to your local library?

We’ll show you how writing can be fun.  (Really!)  We play a writing game, talk about the best secret tips we know, and give you the “inside low-down” on the publishing business. We’ll do some writing, sharing, (ONLY if you want to . . . we never force people to share) and then it’s time for your questions. 

Many of the local English teachers offer extra credit if you attend.  Go ahead – – ask your English teacher.  We’ll be happy to sign anything you need for proof.

 Do you have a question about getting published?  How to write so your reader won’t be able to put your story down?  Want to know what it’s really like to be a children’s author?  (no, we don’t ride in a limo . . .)  We’ll give you techniques, guidance, and help you along your way.  You’ll  meet other writers your age, get a chance to win a free book in our raffle, and learn more about our California Writers Club Young Writers contest.  (guidelines also at right)
