WORKSHOPS
in
WRITING FOR YOUNG READERS
and
USING COLLAGE IN THE CLASSROOM


Eleven Essentials
at the Hudson Valley Writers Center
November 30 & December 7th, 2009


This two-part workshop is designed to provide the necessary tools to help meet the challenge of creating a children’s book. The class will focus on Eleven Essentials to think about on every page. We’ll have time for thorough critiques of students’ work submitted in advance, as well as the practical application of self-starting and obstacle-smashing exercises. There will be required reading before and homework in between the two sessions.
One-on-one manuscript consultation is available by appointment after each session.
Contact the Writer's Center to sign up: TEL: (914) 332-5953

thank you for coming into Mrs. Russel's class on Wednesday and telling us about being a writer. i love to write, so it was great! i think that everyone else enjoyed it too. I've read some of your books( eg. Mable Riley, Would you) and they are awesome! I love how you incorporate real events that have happened into your books. your websites great! Thanks again ~ Jessica

The visit from you in yorkdale was fun! I really enjoyed your presentation. I enjoyed most was the part when there was interaction between you and the audience. I just read the firt part of your book "Would You" and it aready interests me.

hi mrs.jocelyn im danica im not sure if you remembered me i was the girl who kept asking questiong and bought the book how it happened in peach hill.
You asked us earlier to send you the hot writting thing so here is mine :)
i would have been in so much trouble if I've been caught drinking underage.It was just a dare at first but who would have thought that gunshots would be pulled and that lives would be taken away.
So thats what i was able to think of hope you enjoyed it.
p.s i tried e-mailing this to you but it didnt work so i put it up here

I like your web site very much. I would have contacted you a few decades sooner but I forgot that you spell your name Marthe, not Martha. Best regards, Graeme from Brisbane, Australia

I like it very much!
