Irish Pen Night on Writing for Children

[SarahW]

If you've ever wanted to write for children, this Pen evening is a must.

Chaired my moi, Sarah Webb - children's bookseller and marketing manager of 16 year's experience, now a children's consultant and author (Amy Green, Teen Agony Queen: Boy Trouble is out in Feb 09 with Walker Books).

Panel: Helen Carr, highly experienced editor with O'Brien Press who will be dealing with how to catch an editor's eye and what they as a publishing house are looking for.

Mags Walsh, Director of Children's Books Ireland, the national organisation for childrens' books who will be talking about what children really want from their books.

And finally the fab Oisin McGann, children's writer and illustrator - who will be talking about making a living from writing for children, getting published and finding a good children's agent.

It should be a great night if I say so myself!

Venue: United Arts Club, 2 Upper Fitzwilliam St, Dublin (off Baggot St)

I went to this last night, and it was a great event. I was going to do a writeup on it, but I see that Sarah has already blogged about it this morning, and she's covered everything I was going to say! Really interesting, engaging panelists made for a very enjoyable session. Great job!
