Breakout Session
Writing for Children
Do you have a desire to write for children but wonder what it takes to get published? Does your picture book need to rhyme? Is anyone buying chapter books? What topics are publishers of middle grade taking? Do you need to have a platform as a children’s author? Can you write both children’s and adult books and how does that affect your brand? We’ll look at these questions and more and discuss the angles of writing for children, what you need to know as you write, and how you can turn a pitch into an appealing project! As an agent who has contracted children’s projects and has co-written a book for middle grade girls, Blythe will share from her professional experience to help you feel equipped to write for children!
