In this course we’ll consider children as an evolving audience from baby to young adult, suiting different kinds of book formats and stories. What is a story? Where can we find story ideas? How can we work with characters and plot and storytelling voice to convey our story in the best way for the chosen audience age? Will our text share the storytelling with illustration? We will explore and experiment with all these things via talks and discussion and daily short writing tasks. There will also be a chance to workshop a story you’re already working on, if you want to. But it’s no problem at all if you’ve never yet attempted to write a story for children! This is a Creative Writing 10 session course and must be taken with W2CWPm50 in week 2.
