PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Writing Nonfiction with Students
Can kids write engaging nonfiction? Absolutely! In this fast-paced workshop Sibert medalist Candace Fleming will share her secrets for creating fascinating nonfiction with young writers. Participants will not only discover strategies for effective research and directed inquiry, but they will also leave with oodles of tips and ideas to help students create exciting “true stories” rather than dull, encyclopedic accounts. Strategies are effective for both elementary and secondary students.
Limited to 100 participants.

NYLA members: $50**
Non-NYLA members: $75. .

Registration Policies
NYLA members are eligible for discounted member rates for NYLA events. Registrants must be active members to receive discounted rates. Registrants will not be provided member rates if their account is not active. Registrations completed with non-member pricing in error will only be changed by the registrant reaching out to the NYLA office at events@nyla.org prior to registration deadlines listed below. Failure to contact the NYLA office prior to the deadline will result in the registrant being liable for the non-member rate. Special discounted rates are available to NYLA members of the Retired, Trustee, Student, and Friend member types. Members must be active in these designated member tiers at the time of registration to receive special discounts.
The rates provided above will be honored until the noted deadlines. Registration will close April 10, 2026. On-site registration will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at an increased rate.
Attendees are required to submit an electronic registration form to attend the event. This registration form serves as a contractual agreement to attend said event, and all monetary requirements will be the responsibility of the registering party, regardless of attendance and billing entity provided (Bill Later/PO). Registrants are responsible for providing all noted billing entities’ required documentation to finalize payment for their registration. All registration payments must be received within 30 days of receipt of the registration submission. NYLA reserves the right to charge prevailing rates (i.e., Regular) for lack of payment.
