Children's WritingBest
Selling Author, Robyn Opie did a "Writing for
Children" Course 9
Years Ago - Now She has over 70
Published Children's Books.
Three
of her early children's books were written during the
"writing for children" course. They were
published in 2000.
How did she
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 she received from
her tutor, an experienced children's author. She
submitted stories or chapters for homework and received
great advice on how she could improve them and her
writing skills. It was easy, once she knew how. And she
was told how. Robyn became a better writer - publishable
- in a matter of weeks.
You can too!
And now Robyn would like to help you.
Dear Fellow Writer,
Hi,
I'm Robyn Opie, proud author of more than 70 children's
books. At the moment I'm working on the screenplay of a
movie, based on one of my books. The anticipated release
of the movie is late 2009.
Now, I take great pleasure in introducing:
Writing
for Children - The Robyn Opie Masterclass
Duration: 8 lessons
to be completed within 12 months
Features: 8 in-depth lessons,
assignments, one-to-one assistance, advice and guidance
with me, in short: all the feedback and encouragement you
require!
I want to take you step by step through the various
facets of the genre. I promise you it will be a fun and
exciting journey, with me as your tour guide, the course
growing week by week until you have a truly thorough
understanding of writing for children.
I love helping new writers. I feel like a proud parent
when I launch a student's new book. It's the best
feeling.
I'm passionate about children's books and writing - I
want to share it with you. I'll teach you everything you
need to know about writing children's books and getting
published - everything I've learned over the years.
Here is a little feedback from my previous students:
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 for children
anywhere else. Lindee, South Australia
And here is
the course in a nut-shell:
Lesson

Getting to know each other, setting goals, getting
started,
style and mindset.
Lesson 2: Picture Books
Including inside ‘layout’ secrets, with
examples, tips on character,

This previously unavailable information will seriously
enhance your learning experience.
Each module ends with an assignment or three. As this is
an eight-lesson course, you’ll be receiving a lesson
from me every week for eight weeks. However, I don’t
mind if it takes you more than eight weeks to complete
the course. I understand that you have a busy life. Tell
me about it! I know that sometimes things can take a
little longer than you imagine or desire. Don’t
worry. We’ll work at a pace that suits you and your
circumstances.
