SUMMARY:Tone\, Voice\, and Mood: Not Just for Angsty Teens
DESCRIPTION:So often\, agents\, editors\, and well-meaning critique group members provide vague feedback along the lines of “the voice on this piece doesn’t feel genuine\,” or “this doesn’t strike the right tone\,” without any specifics to back up their statements\, as if knowledge of tone\, mood\, and voice is built into a writer’s DNA. This session can help you decipher what is meant by those ambiguous statements\, allowing you to revise your work in a deeper way. \nSuggested reading: The Noisy Paintbox by Barb Rosenstock\, The Longest Night by Marion Dane Bauer\, We Found a Hat by Jon Klassen\, Coraline by Neil Gaiman\, How It Went Down by Kekla Magoon.

SUMMARY:Making Light: Humor's Serious Place in Children's/YA Literature
DESCRIPTION:In this panel discussion\, we dispel two myths: that humor is insignificant because it is lighthearted\, and that with humor you’ve either got it or you don’t. We discuss the craft of humor and demonstrate how to purposefully write funnier. From our experience as writers with wide knowledge of children’s/YA lit\, we examine how humor lies at the intersection of truth and pain\, and how humor gives effective means to speak to pain and injustice\, offering healing\, hope\, and light.
