Calling all Children's/YA member writers

Member writers:
I've been doing some preliminary investigation into inaugurating a Children's/Young Adult Writing Group here at the Library. I have already spoken to some of you and there seems to be interest.

So, if you're a member of The New York Society Library , you're currently working on a children's or young adult book, and interested in joining a writing group, drop me a line or give me a call.
