Young Adult
Young adult fiction is an ever expanding and popular category in book publishing. You will find it in all genres including: fantasy, romance, historical, science fiction, dystopian, coming-of-age, realism, literary fiction.

Though young adult books are ostensibly aimed at teens, a significant number of readers are adults (think: The Hunger Games, The Fault in our Stars).

What is a young adult novel? In this workshop, we will read and discuss critically acclaimed and best-selling young adult novelists such as xxxxxxxxxxx and we'll engage in writing exercises to work on
character development, dialogue, voice, setting and structure. 

Part 2: 
This workshop is for workshopping
YA stories or novel excerpts.
