A workshop with a difference

Children's Books Ireland is hosting an unusual workshop for published and aspiring writers of children's books. The event is "aimed at helping children’s authors make the most of the opportunities presented by live events and festival touring". After sessions on vocal skills, public reading and performance technique, the focus will then move to devising individual event strategies for each participant, with authors Oisín McGann and Sarah Webb. Sounds deadly to me! Places are limited, so book early!
