Barbara Else has written several books for young readers (her latest works are Go Girl: A Storybook of Epic NZ Women and Harsu & the Werestoat) and is also a manuscript assessor and editor. In this workshop Else will talk you through the business of finding the right voice and requisite bounce to capture a younger audience. She’ll discuss the needs of readers, what the writer can offer and how to focus a story, and take you through some exercises to help you establish a kid-centric tone.
