Brittany Cavallaro will discuss strategies for brainstorming, planning, and writing your YA novel. We'll talk about how to create complex characters, how to craft both plot and emotional arcs, and how to pace your novel for a tense, interesting read. Great intro for anyone considering her workshop, The World at Stake.
