Writing From a Child’s POV

About This Training

Unlock fiction’s most potent and nuanced lens: the child’s point of view. This advanced workshop is for writers of adult literary fiction aiming to harness the power of juvenile perspective. We will master crafting a voice that balances innocence with intuitive wisdom, using a child’s limited understanding to create dramatic irony and profound emotional depth. Through analysis and generative exercises, learn to weaponize simplicity against complex themes. Leave with the tools to write unforgettable child narrators who reveal truth not in spite of their perspective, but because of it.

About Sage Tyrtle

I’d been telling true stories on stage for ten years, all over the world. I’d taught workshops in India and spun tales in New York City. Won story slams, been on the radio, even on television. And when stages vanished in March of 2020 my life came to a screeching halt.

After a couple of months discovering that Napping Most Of The Day was not a positive career choice, my five-year-old self came marching into my room and woke me up and said, “HEY. Remember how I said I was going to be a published writer? Okay, make it happen.
