The Bocas Lit Fest is offering a unique opportunity for authors working on books for tween readers, aged nine to 12 years old, to learn how to truly captivate their audience. Award-winning authors Carol Mitchell and Danielle YC McClean, recipient of the 2022 Bocas Lit Fest Children’s Book Prize, will be leading a virtual three-session Tween Tales masterclass.
