This one-day workshop will focus on writing for the young adult market. Speaking both from her perspective as an author and as co-founder of the literary development company, Paper Lantern Lit, Lauren Oliver will address the three key elements of storytelling:
1) The Spark: conceiving of ideas that are both marketable and meaningful.
2) The Structure: understanding plot and building solid narrative architecture.
3) The Sparkle: the importance of a great first sentence, and the way to achieve voice through specificity.
