Writing Through Childlikeness: The Journey of Children’s Publishing with Kaitlin Curtice
What are the most important aspects of becoming a children’s book author? Kaitlin Curtice shares her journey in children’s publishing and the importance of connecting with our own childlikeness and curiosity along the way. In this lab, we will ask what it means to connect with our child-selves and explore how writing from a space of expansive curiosity leads us deeper into the work set before us. Writers will come away with ideas and embodiments for practicing wonder and childlikeness that will lead to deeper, more authentic writing.
