Novels are an exciting genre in children’s literature, whether they are middle grade (ages 8-13) or young adult (ages 13 and up.) There are seemingly endless novel categories, too: novels in verse, contemporary, horror, fantasy, historical fiction, mystery and narrative nonfiction.
Whatever your novel interest, we’ve got resources and workshops to help you begin, revise, plot, outline, receive feedback, develop characters and more.
No matter where you are on your journey, we’re glad you’re here. We can give you the skills you need to create the very best novel for kids and teens.
