One of the enjoyable things I get to do as director of the National Writing for Children Center is arrange for speakers for our two monthly teleclasses for members of the Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club.

Angela Durden
Author Angela Durden

One of our speakers this month is Angela Durden, author of Mike and His Grandpa, the first in a new series of children’s books.Grandpa

Durden will be speaking to the CWCC this Wednesday night at 7:00 central time. Here’s a short blurb about her presentation.

What Will YOU do with Expectation Postponed?

Is your book not getting written as fast as you want?
Is your book not getting published when and by whom you want?

Are speaking appearances not coming as often you would like?

Are you crying in your beer about wasting time?

Stop crying! View this as an opportunity to work on the details.

Become a member of the Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club here and join us for this exciting teleclass with Angela Durden Wednesday night. As a Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club member you will also receive a CD of this recorded event in this month’s membership packet.

As director of the National Writing for Children Center and coaching coordinator for the Children’s Writers Coaching Club, I get to have a lot of fun each month speaking with other children’s authors and illustrators for our two monthly teleclasses, and our weekly podcast, Book Bites for Kids.

Dianna BonderLast night we had a wonderful teleclass for club members with children’s author/illustrator Dianna Bonder. Dianna is a warm and generous person who lives many people’s dream life as a writer and illustrator on a small island that’s part of British Columbia. Her children’s book illustrations are amazing.

Read more about Dianna Bonder’s work here and even get a glimpse of her enchanting artist’s studio in the woods.
