In the current geopolitical context, the International Criminal Court has managed to stand its ground as a well-accepted international organization. Since its creation in 1998, the ICC has seen four countries refer situations on their own territory and adopted the Rome Statute which solidified the Court's role in international criminal law.

On Sunday, June 24th, children’s nonfiction writer Laura Purdie Salas will be teaching a 6-1/2-hour workshop in Minneapolis called, Writing Nonfiction Children’s Books for the Educational Market. The workshop will be at the Loft Literary Center (http://www.loft.org/index.cfm), and participants wil be surveying the field, analyzing publishers’ catalogs, learning how to prepare an introductory packet to submit to publishers, writing rough drafts of cover letters, analyzing series, going over tips for once you have your first assignment, talking about pay and contracts, and more.
If you’re in Minnesota or the Upper Midwest (or anywhere else if you’re an eager traveler) and can make it to Minneapolis that day, I’d love to have you join the workshop. So far, 22 writers have signed up, and the max is 30. Laura Purdie Salas has taught this workshop several times, and it’s always very practical and informative
and fun, too.
