Would you like to be a part of Turtle Town? Register for one of the summer creative writing camps in Houston to see what the writing and editing process is all about. All of the students who participate this summer will get to read parts of the Turtle Town Unpublished Manuscript and offer their personal feedback to the author.
This is a unique opportunity for children who have always wanted to be an author or illustrator, as each student gets the opportunity to be behind the scenes with the LongTale Publishing team.
