WTCC – The Business of Writing for Children

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Writing for children might represent a fantastic journey for you, but never forget that publishing is a business. The more you can learn about the industry, the better you can navigate your way to life as a published author. Knowledge is empowering.

During this seven-week course, students will develop and begin writing a manuscript for a children’s book during our classwork workshop periods. Additionally, we discuss the business of writing for children, including how to identify publishers, how to write a query and synopsis, and how to market your work.

Here’s what they’re saying:

“Great overview of subject matter. I definitely benefitted from this class and gained a lot of information that I didn’t have.”

“Dolly’s enthusiasm, encouragement, and expertise made the class. She was so positive in her delivery and constructive with feedback. I look forward to taking more classes from her.”

“The instructor was fantastic! She was approachable, concise and very well versed in her craft. I’m excited about my future in writing and feel that Dolly encouraged me to take it seriously.”

“[I liked] the practical, real life experience Dolly brought into the class of being a published author and understanding the world.”
