Join Kelsey Ford, novelist and creator and director of Bookish in the ‘Burgh, for a Novel Revision course for teens.

The course is recommended for teens ages 13-18 who have written or are currently writing a novel-length piece. Participants can expect to gain new information and resources about revision and paths to publication. They will also have the opportunity to build relationships with other teen novelists.
