The Possibility of Poetry: Considering Verse in Fiction
Are you intrigued by all the novels in verse that are finding their way into the marketplace? Have you experimented with poetry or contemplated writing a novel in verse? In this workshop, we will explore differences between writing in verse and prose, look at a variety of middle grade and young adult mentor texts, and play with possibilities for using poetry in your own work.
Lecture replays are available after the free trial ends. To end your trial early, email brooke@inkedvoices.com .
