I did a "writing for children"
course 15 years ago -

now I have over 80

published children's books.

Three of my early children's books were written
during the "writing for children" course.
They were published in 2000.

How did I become a published writer?

By learning from an expert!

It wasn't just a case of studying the course notes.
No, the most important thing was the feedback
I received from my tutor, an experienced children's author.
I submitted stories or chapters for homework and received great advice on how I could improve them and my writing skills.
It was easy, once I knew how. And I was told how.
I became a better writer - publishable - in a matter of weeks.

You can too!

And I'd like to help you.

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY
my WRITING FOR CHILDREN COURSE is $197!

Here is feedback from two of my students:

You are an exceptional and detailed teacher. Ekwy, UK

I can't thank you enough for making your Writing for Children course available. Of all the information I have received, from books, conferences, critiques, the whole gammit, your teachings have outshined them all. I think your caring and sharing is almost unheard of. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your critique of my story. After your advice, I felt a light had been lit. I
will never forget how much you so willingly helped me, especially
with some very sensitive aspects that I wasn't sure how to handle. Marcia, United States

I feel quite sad to be sending this lesson.  This is the end of the course.  I have enjoyed working with you a great deal.  Your help
and guidance has been unbelievably helpful. I have loved taking the course and feel I have grown as a writer. Wendy, Spain

I found all the lessons, feedback and articles incredibly insightful.
Your constructive feedback was extremely helpful too. You obviously put a lot of effort into going through the homework because your comments are very detailed. I can't thank you enough. I don't think
I could have found such comprehensive information about writing
