Have you ever thought about story hooks, popular genres and tropes, and how books become bestsellers? This masterclass offers an inside look at what it means to be a children’s writer on a global stage through the lens of Charlie Castelletti, children’s writer and books editor at Macmillan. This workshop requires participants to register in advance. Charlie Castelletti is a writer and children’s books editor. He holds a B.A. in English Language and Literature from King’s College, London, and an M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge, where he focused on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature, period adaptations and queer audiences. He is the author of The Manor House Governess under the pseudonym C.A. Castle, and he is also a picture book author for young children. Castelletti is a poetry anthologist with Macmillan, where he contrasts the old with the new – from zodiacs and queer life to modern dating – always with a view to capturing the zeitgeist. He spends his time between London and Cambridgeshire.
