Spread the Word workshop: Tackling difficult themes in children's middle grade literature with Lui Sit
Wed 20 Jan 2021 to Wed 20 Jan 2021
Children’s literature has always been awash with difficult subjects, reflecting the realities children face. As writers, how do we approach these themes while creating stories that are engaging for children to read?
Dead parents, abandonment, war and illness are common themes in children’s literature. Using examples, this workshop will explore how other authors have navigated difficult subjects in children’s writing and through writing exercises, apply this to your own work.
Lui Sit was born in Hong Kong, raised in Australia and now lives in London. She is completing her first middle grade children’s book and also writes memoir and adult short fiction. She is an alumnus of the London Writers Award (Children’s and YA) scheme and won the 2020 Superlative Short Story Competition.
