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

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
for children anywhere else. Lindee, South
Australia

Remember
the most important thing!
Nine years ago, I too
completed a 'writing for children' course, just
like this one. Back then, I was asked to write a
picture book, an early reader and a chapter book
for homework.
Three of those assignments went on
to be published!
Seriously!
Thats why I know
you can seriously benefit from taking my new
course. Feedback is invaluable when it comes to
writing, especially feedback from a professional
writing in the industry today. Because, if it can
happen to me then
It could happen for you
too.

ability as a tutor, I'm happy to offer you a
money back guarantee. So you can sign-up now,
with peace of mind, knowing that I will do
everything possible to help you in your writing
career.
