Need help creating YOUR career as a children’s writer and/or illustrator?
OR - do you want to learn ways to make more of the writing and illustrating career you already have?
Then join the Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club at the National Writing for Children Center.
The club not only helps beginning writers and illustrators learn the tricks of the trade for children’s writing and illustrating, it also helps established children’s writers and/or illustrators learn to market their books, author visits, and even their own writing courses and workshops more effectively.
You’ll work with both published children’s writers and illustrators, and those who want to become children’s writers or illustrators, to create the children’s writing or illustrating career of your dreams.
And the best part is, you won’t ever have to leave your home - so you can enjoy your coaching club sessions in your pjs or bathrobe, if you like. What could be better than that?
Membership - only $27.00 per month
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 successful children’s book author and/or illustrator who knows the “tricks of the trade” of children’s writing, illustrating, and publishing.
* The opportunity to have one of your manuscripts professional 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, 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 submit your completed assignments for evaluation each week.
* 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.
