ABOUT CBW-LA: CBW-LA is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, dedicated to educating and inspiring writers on the road to publication. Our members range from hobbyists to published authors. We welcome all writers, but focus on children's literature, from picture book through young adult. Our monthly workshops provide tips and lessons on the craft of writing and the business of publishing. Topics range from creating three-dimensional characters, weaving intriguing storylines, revising and editing a manuscript, to writing and submitting query letters to agents and editors. Members can also get helpful feedback on their manuscript through our critique sessions, and our annual Writing Day Anthology Workshop offers them a chance to gain publishing experience through publication in Story Sprouts Anthology.
