Boring, joyless and stale nonfiction is ancient history.

The new wave of kidlit nonfiction is filled with drama, excitement and unbridled creativity.

Want to get in on the fun?

Ready to write exciting nonfiction that resonates with today's editors, librarians, teachers and young readers?

Then grab a seat and let Patricia Newman show you how it's done.

On December 13th, an acclaimed nonfiction author will teach you how to develop a truly creative nonfiction voice, and take your place among today's innovative nonfiction writers.

If you still believe that nonfiction is no place for unbridled creativity, it's time to think again.

It's time to learn the new rules.

Many people believe fiction is about the heart and nonfiction is about the facts and nothing but the facts.

But they’re wrong.

Today’s children’s nonfiction is loaded with heart.

Nonfiction can tell a straightforward story or be poetic (or even experimental).

It can relate to everyday childhood experiences or it can bring to vivid life an event from the distant past. It can be almost anything, in fact — as long as it's all true.

Endless possibilities for real creativity are now part of the nonfiction world. But it only happens if you know how to present fascinating facts in a way that captures children’s attention and engages them throughout the book.

No More Boring Nonfiction! will teach you simple and proven ways to distill your research into a creative narrative thread or an inventive expository theme that resonates with kids and presents real-world information in an irresistible new way.

Meet Patricia Newman, the Sibert Medal honoree widely considered to be among the finest children's nonfiction authors working today.
