Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will be able to "get their feet wet" with writing for children, and will be able to ask some initial questions about getting published. They will be able to network and connect with one another.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Molly Beth Griffin broke down the various levels of childrens publishing, noting the requirements by publishers from each type. More than just how to get published, she presented a view of publishing for children that was quite unique. Her advice on finding an agent was something I hadn't heard before.
