This course also features a variety of guest authors who share stories about their own experiences with writing chidren's books, then lead discussions about writing in different genres, for different purposes and audiences, and under different constraints. Teachers in Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester, Beaufort, and Colleton counties are welcome to apply.
