FAIRMOUNT — Have you ever wanted to write a children’s book? Do you dream about being a published author? Do you wish you knew more about the process? The Fairmount Community Library, located at 406 Chapel Drive, is hosting a Writing Workshop with children’s author, Christyne Morrell via Zoom on Wednesday, November 10th from 6:00 – 7:00 pm.

In this presentation, The ABCs of Writing and Publishing for Children, middle-grade author Christyne Morrell will cover the basics of writing and publishing for kids, from getting started to finding an agent to landing a book deal. Sharing what she’s learned on her own writing journey, Christyne will answer frequently-asked questions and provide her top tips and advice. If you’re interested in breaking into the “kidlit” market, this is the perfect place to start!
