Well Versed: Learning About Novels in Verse

from The Writing Forge Hosted by Writing Heights Writers Association

Poetry and story mix beautifully to make a novel in verse—an increasingly popular form of writing. Miranda and Bonnie learn more from Megan E. Freeman, author of middle-grade novel-in-verse Alone, about what makes a novel in verse, the freedom it can provide, its relatability across different demographics, and of course, tips and tricks for succeeding in the format. Had you heard of a novel in verse before today? If so, what has been your favorite? We’d love to hear from you!
