The Lewis Auditorium

Calling all children's and young adult writers! Bring part of your manuscript - beginning, middle, or end -for peer feedback.

Looking for a creative community this fall? Need a fresh set of eyes and ears to give feedback on a story? Have you started writing for children or young adults and don't know where to go next? Share part of your manuscript - beginning, middle, or end. You will have the opportunity to receive peer feedback in a supportive and constructive environment. Bring up to three pages double-spaced. The time you have to share will be based on the total number of participants.

This program is a great way to meet others who are passionate about writing for youth and learn about resources that can assist you on your writing journey.

This program is presented in collaboration with the East Central Illinois Network of SCBWI.
