Northern Network Schmooze

January 4, 2012
Genre - ˈzhän-rə, ˈzhäⁿ-; ˈzhäⁿr; ˈjän-rə noun: a class of art (or artistic endeavor) having a characteristic form or technique; a kind of literary or artistic work; a style of expressing yourself in writing.

Let's explore genre in Jzhan-uary. What are the different kinds of writing for children are there, what are their characteristics, and (best of all) how can we expand our craft by exploring genre?

We'll meet on Wednesday, January 4th, from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the coffee shop at the Barnes & Noble (4099 Meridian Street) in Bellingham.

What is a Schmooze?

A Schmooze is a gathering of children's writers and illustrators designed to share knowledge, great news, and companionship. They are free activities offered by the SCBWI WWA Networks. A Schmooze is a great place to meet local authors and illustrators - people like you who share your interests and goals. At a Schmooze, you'll have the chance to network, make friends, and get connected. Occasionally guest speakers will be featured at a Schmooze, but usually they are meetings that are structured around discussions about various topics of interest to children's writers and illustrators. A Schmooze is not a fix-it, nor is it a forum for critique, though critique groups can grow out of a Schmooze.
