When Martha Engber wrote WINTER LIGHT, she didn’t set out to write a YA novel, and she’s sure that’s the reason the book won the 2021 IPPY Gold Medal in Young Adult Fiction.

In this webinar, Ms. Engber, author of GROWING GREAT CHARACTERS FROM THE GROUND UP, will explain why authors often self-censor when writing realistic fiction for teens and why it’s imperative they avoid the trap; and she’ll give three techniques to help authors stay true to their characters. She invites participants to bring their current works in progress and will include short writing exercises to demonstrate the power of putting characters first.

I loved the writing exercises, the examples and ties to the history of YA, and overall engaging, intelligent discourse in this presentation. It was well-paced, informative, and thought-provoking hour!
Martha's workshop on Edgy YA was great. It reminded me to follow my author's instincts. Writing exercise prompts were really useful in getting me to focus on my characters and the story they should be telling.
