Explore the particular challenges of writing for the middle grade market–aimed at eight to 12-year-olds. What makes it different from writing for other age groups? Each week, you’ll write a piece of flash fiction, which will guide constructive in-class discussions. We will discuss subject matter, voice, plotting, pacing, and character development.

  • Students should bring something to write with.
