The Children to Young Adult Inner Circle (C2YA) focuses on writing for young readers –toddlers to middle-grade to young adult, from picture books through to novels. We discuss special topics, share and critique works-in-progress, and we sometimes talk about the random happenings we encounter in our writing life. We take a light and easy approach, and we endeavour to motivate and support each other along our journey.
C2YA meets virtually on the 3rd Thursday of every month at 6:00pm via Google Meet.
