"Writing Teen Fiction"
by Niki Burnham
Niki Burnham is living proof that you don't have to: a) be a teen; b) have a teen living in your house; or c) be a high school teacher in order to write convincing fiction for teens. If you want to write for this challenging group of readers, but don't know about the teen market or what teens today are dying to read, this is the class for you.
Topics include:
* Learning About the Teen Fiction Market
* Suggestions for Teen Reading
* Why Theme (Yes, Theme!) Matters
* Creating Convincing Teen Characters
* Sounding Teen
* Plotting Your Teen Novel
Niki Burnham is the RITA-Award winning author of two novellas and six novels for teens, including ROYALLY JACKED, a Teen People pick and an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Readers. Her online home is www.nikiburnham.com.
