The Resilient Writer: Writing Through Trauma and Grief

We bring much of ourselves to our work– for the better, many would agree, especially when writing for kids and teens. But, how do we do this work without harm to ourselves? How do we nurture our wounds, while providing honesty and hope to our readers? For this special #HFGather, join Heather Demetrios to work through writing strategies and talk the importance of these heartfelt stories for kids and teens. This program will be recorded for those who cannot attend live.
