Time: 10:30 am - 11:30 am

Author, Robin Stevenson presents Writing For Kids: Fiction and Non-Fiction (grades 4-8)

Fiction is all about making things up. Non-fiction is…well, the opposite! But both are filled with stories, conflict and characters. Robin will explain how she writes non-fiction, and share some of the stories from her non-fiction books. She will also explain how she writes her novels– and give participants a chance to develop their own ideas and stories!

Our local classes and residents of Lac La Biche have first priority as space maybe limited. Email [email protected] to receive the Zoom Link.
