VCFA’s 2023 Writing Novels for Children & Young Adults Virtual Retreat is a weekend-long online experience offering craft instruction, industry insights, creative support and inspiration, and connection with fellow writers. On Saturday, October, 21, I will lead a master class on Who and Why and Why and Who: How character shapes plot, plot shapes character, and both of these truths shape the novel. On Sunday, October 22, I’ll be in conversation with author Tirzah Price and agent Jennifer Chen Tran during a Q&A panel session.
