The co-founder and director of one of Canada鈥檚 most successful publishing houses will give one-on-one feedback to participants of a workshop called The Insider鈥檚 Guide to Writing and Publishing for Young Readers, held July 12 to 14 at the 秀色短视频.

Rick Wilks, co-founder and director of Annick Press, will co-facilitate the workshop with Cynthia Good, past editorial director, president, and publisher of Penguin Books Canada. The workshop鈥攁 collaboration between 秀色短视频 and Humber College鈥檚 School for Writers and Creative Book Publishing program鈥攊s open to all writers, no matter what stage of writing you鈥檙e at鈥攆rom concept to first draft or beyond.

鈥淲riting a kid鈥檚 book can be an exciting but intimidating task,鈥� said Belle DeMont, a past participant of The Insider鈥檚 Guide who went on to write I Love My Purse, published by Annick in 2017. 鈥淚 came to the Humber PEI writing workshop with many ideas, but had no direction. This course changed that dramatically. The weekend in stunning PEI was spent tapping into every corner of the writing/publishing world. We discussed everything from sentence structure to how to get a publisher鈥檚 attention. We had in-depth critiques of each other鈥檚 works. We were then given options as to what to do with the work once it was completed. Two years after taking this workshop, my first book was published with Annick Press. In truth, this course actually changed my life.鈥�

This summer鈥檚 expanded workshop will have more time devoted to feedback about participants鈥� writing. Wilks has more than 40 years experience in children鈥檚 publishing and has worked with Canada鈥檚 top authors for young readers, including Robert Munsch and Sharon McKay. Wilks will spend time with each participant's writing, with practical tips on how to improve the manuscript.

鈥淭he workshop was very well organized, and the presentations were excellent,鈥� said Don Desserud of Cornwall, PEI, who attended last summer鈥檚 workshop. 鈥淚 was particularly impressed by Cynthia Good and Rick Wilks and their knowledgeable, informed, and sage advice. I learned a lot, much more than I anticipated. I would definitely attend again.鈥�

In addition, Sarah Sawler, a children鈥檚 author and publicist from Halifax, will join the facilitators for a session to highlight what writers need to know about getting their books into the hands of readers.

鈥淭hank you for this incredible opportunity for honest feedback! Thank you for broadening my understanding of the publishing industry and about the writing process,鈥� said Elaine Kachala, who travelled from Toronto for the workshop and to spend time on beautiful PEI.

The workshop will open with a lecture and a reception sponsored by Annick Press. Participants will leave the workshop with new directions for their manuscripts, enriched knowledge of publishing, and an effective query letter.

秀色短视频鈥檚 Faculty of Education will host a day of discussion and ideas around education and technology at Edcamp Charlottetown 3.0. The event begins 9:30 am on Saturday, June 9, in Schurman Market Square in 秀色短视频鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall Hall. All are welcome.

Edcamps define themselves as 鈥渦n-conferences鈥� and function within a now well-established worldwide model, which includes a flexible free flowing agenda that is chosen by the participants themselves on the day, the absence of formal speakers, a no-fee registration policy, and a democratic expectation that all participants join in the conversation equitably. Edcamps encourage people to 鈥渃hoose with their feet鈥� and freely circulate between discussion circles until they find the forums that genuinely engage them. The events are community-based and seek to break down silos and bring together educators, teachers, community, and all key stakeholders in reform. If you have never experienced an edcamp, there is no time like now to try this remarkable formula. Join us for a day of dialogue and community-building.

This year鈥檚 umbrella theme is entitled 鈥淭echucation鈥� and seeks to examine all aspects of the relationship between technology and education. All conversation topics arewelcome. Join us at 9:30 am to suggest and help select discussion topics for the day鈥檚 sessions.

Registration for free . 

Follow all discussions on Twitter throughout the day at #edcampcharlottetown.
