Master Classes

The W2I Master Class is a one-day online event, held twice per year, featuring three workshops focused on a single aspect of writing for children and young adults. Those who write for adults are welcome to join as well.

“So the next generation would know them. Even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds, but would keep his commands.”

—Psalm 78:6-7
