The Writing Garden--
Where creativity blooms & grows
Newly launched in San Francisco, The Writing Garden offers a variety of classes for adults, including:
Writing Children's Books & Young Adult Literature
Finding Your Voice
Navigating the World of Children's Book Publishing
Creative director Lynn Hazen founded The Writing Garden, "to share my passion for reading, writing, and the transformative power of story. I encourage each writer to explore and develop his or her own voice, make connections with fellow writers, and begin to build a creative tribe."
Lynn holds an M.F.A. in Writing for Children & Young Adults and an M.A. in Education. She teaches writing at Stanford Continuing Studies, and has led workshops at the Big Sur Writing Conference, the San Francisco Writer's Conference, and Society of Children's Books Writers & Illustrators conferences and events.
Her books, published by Henry Holt, Bloomsbury and Random House include the young adult novel Shifty (VOYA Top Shelf Fiction choice and Smithsonian notable), a picture book, two chapter books, and the middle grade novel Mermaid Mary Margaret, which was hailed "a winner" by Kirkus Reviews.
Classes at The Writing Garden are open to aspiring as well as experienced writers. Subscribe to the mailing list at www.TheWritingGarden.com to hear about upcoming San Francisco workshops.
"The world of writing for children is an amazing, creative outlet," Lynn says. "It's challenging at times, but fun and immensely satisfying. I look forward to meeting you at The Writing Garden soon."
