There is no ShopTalk in December. Our next meeting is in January.
The next Ithaca Shop Talk, on Monday, December 11, is open to everyone in the region. We are hosting very special guest author (and PAL member) Dee Romito to discuss Chapter Books.
Join Dee to explore the different categories of children's books and what makes each one unique. We'll dive a little deeper into writing chapter books and middle grade and learn some tips and tools that will help you learn to write in these categories or up your game if you're already writing them!
You can find out more about Dee on the “Published [PAL] Authors & Illustrators” page.
When: Monday, December 11 at 6:30 pm
When: on ZOOM. Please be respectful and mute your mic when you are not speaking.
