ABOUT THE CLASS

During these unsettling times, figuring out how to make time to write, what to write, and how to focus as a writer is difficult.

Join Alice for this free webinar just for you: we'll talk about ways to make slivers of time for storytelling, even as we're maybe working while caring for children or loved ones, or just trying to figure out our new normals.

We'll share how to get words onto the page, and how to write through this strange, uncertain period of our collective history.

This class is 100% free - a gift from Alice and Children's Book Insider.
