Stranger than Fiction, selected by Natasha Deen
Screening on Wednesday, April 5, 3:00 & 7:00 p.m.
Natasha Deen says, “An author suffering a severe case of writer's block, a main character coming to life--or is he life creating art?—an overworked publishing employee, and a professor in love with literature. Throw in love, baking, and a wrecking ball, and we have the epitome of the Writes of Spring and the Rites of Writing!"
“Thank You, Not For Us” - Why Your Kid and Teen Manuscripts Aren’t Selling
Writing for kids and teens is many things—creative and exciting—but it’s not easy. Add in industry requirements that can make or break a sale and the task is even more challenging. This session will address the ten most common mistakes authors make when writing Kid/Teen Lit and help you get your manuscript out of the slush pile.
Guyanese-Canadian NATASHA DEEN is a best-selling author who writes for kids, teens, and adults. Her novels include In the Key of Nira Ghani, which won the 2020 Amy Mathers Teen Book Award and The Signs and Wonders of Tuna Rashad, a Globe and Mail’s Top 100 Books of 2022. When she’s not writing, she teaches Introduction to Children’s Writing with the University of Toronto’s SCS and spends an excessive amount of time trying to convince her pets that she’s the boss of the house.
