We will begin our day by looking at the openings of three to four diverse YA novels, among them John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, Gayle Forman’s If I Stay, Nina LaCour’s Hold Still, and/or Libba Bray’s A Great and Terrible Beauty. We’ll weave craft issues into the discussion, concentrating on character development and voice. You will leave with a number of prompts for getting started.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Spring quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
