Writing for Kids Who’d Rather Be Doing Anything Else

How do you write books that kids actually want to read—especially those who’d rather be on the basketball court or a gaming console? Fiona Harris, author of kids’ books including The Embarrassing Confessions of Gracie Sparks, The Rebound, Sleepover BFFs, Kicking Goals and Diary of a Netball Star, shares her secrets for writing engaging, pacy, emotionally rich stories that hook even the most reluctant readers. Fiona’s extensive experience writing for Allen & Unwin, Affirm Press and Scholastic makes her a go-to voice in children’s literature. This session is ideal for writers, teachers, and librarians looking to better connect with young readers.
