Now You Can Learn to Write for Children!
|
If you'd like to become a published children's book author yourself, I'd like to invite you to join the Children's Writers' Coaching Club at the National Writing for Children Center and get the help you need to succeed.
I've recently become an instructor for this club and just look at all you get for only $27.00 per month when you become a member of this fantastic club:
* FOUR 55-minute TELECLASSES EVERY MONTH. Each teleclass is taught by a professional, successful children's book author and/or illustrator (including me approximately once a month!) who knows the "tricks of the trade" of children's writing, illustrating, and publishing.
* The opportunity to have one of your MANUSCRIPTS professionally CRITIQUED EVERY WEEK during a LIVE manuscript CRITIQUE telesession. This means you can have up to four manuscripts professionally critiqued each month. This alone is worth well over $27.00 per month. You also receive the link to a recording of each of these weekly sessions, so you can learn from these critiques whether or not you're able to attend the LIVE sessions.
* A short assignment EVERY MONDAY morning, via email, designed to help you improve your skills in some aspect of children's writing and/or publishing or promotion. You can then submit your assignments for evaluation each week. It's up to you each week whether or not to do the assignment.
* The opportunity to network daily via an ONLINE DISCUSSION LIST with other members of the CWCC, as well as the instructors.
Join the Children's Writers' Coaching Club today and you'll be on your way to creating your own part time or full time career as a published children's book author and/or illustrator. WATCH THIS SITE FOR UPCOMING TELECONFERENCE TOPICS!

Explore the many opportunities available for writers, including: books, workbooks, student activities, teacher pages, hi-lo (high interest, low reading level) and ESL (English as a second language) books and materials, test-prep and test assessment materials, science experiments, art projects, reading passages, nonfiction articles, creative nonfiction, fiction stories and more!

Learn the benefits (and challenges) of writing for these markets from a seasoned pro with more than twenty years experience.
