I entered this course with simply a few ideas for children's books. I had absolutely no idea how to present the books correctly or to whom I should send them. This course provides a great amount of very useful information from researching already successful books in your target age bracket all the way to presenting your work to the right publishers in its best possible fashion. This course is well worth the time!

I really enjoyed learning all the topics involved in this course. It's a straight-forward approach to all the basic knowledge and insight that's needed to prepare you for your first attempt at writing for small children and Teenagers.
Also, I believe the scope of everything that's taught in this course could very well help you to write ANY type of Novel...for ANY age group.
I'm very pleased with everything I've learned and am certain it will help me to make a very good first attempt at writing a book, short story, or magazine article. It was an investment well worth the time. The small cost required for the course is really minimal, with all else considered. Thank you!!!

The modules are clearly constructed and very much a practical guide for people who wish to learn the realities of publishing and are prepared to get on with the work and write.
The tests are a great incentive to keep going and measure your progress.
All in all I enjoyed it and found it very engaging and useful.

The course was so thorough and yet flexible. It was my Christmas present to myself, but there's a security in that I can access the content for the rest of my life/career!

It made me want to write and write- and gave very useful, practical advice for constructing the story I've always wanted to tell. Hugely motivational.

I've subscribed to young adult fiction too- and can't wait to start.

Thank you so much Neil- you're my writing mentor :)

I found the course really informative and very user friendly even for a technophobe like me!

The basic write story books for children course is exactly what I've been trying to find for a couple of years now. If your even slightly interested in writing but have absolutely no idea how to get started then this is course for you. My only complaint (and the reason its not rated any higher) is that the website the course is laid on out is fairly poor. I've done a fair few online courses recently and although this was by far the most interesting the information was presented in such away that it really cheapened the experience.

Initially I was nervous that this course would be too difficult but the layout and style of the course was so easy to follow and I found myself learning so much more than I first thought I would. I also took this course to improve my writing skills and not necessarily to write for children however the course has opened my eyes to the many writing possibilities available to me and encourage me to look back at what I read as a child as well as what is available for children now.

I recommend that you try this course if you have even the slightest desire to write. It will help you immensely.

As far as the course itself, there is great information to learn. I started out really enjoying the course and wanted to keep going on to the next module with enthusiasm. What became frustrating and discouraging were the tests. Some of the answers to the tests were not clear from the written material and it seemed they wanted to trick people with their answers. It became a matter of trying to 2nd guess what they wanted and I just wanted to get finished with the test and didn't care by the end. The answers are subjective, and it could be an issue due to UK and USA individuals having different ideas etc. It's not math or science, it's opinions and how a person may interpret and process information. As far as the material goes and the presentation I would have given 4 and possibly 5 stars, however, I would give the testing a 2 star due to becoming frustrated and discouraged.

There were some good tips in this course but I still feel a long way off from knowing how to write a book. The style and format of it was quite good though I did see a lot of mistakes throughout the course which you would have thought would be edited out since it's about writing! I also think the course could have used some exercises as the multiple choice questions were pretty pointless and practical things help people learn better. Still was alright and I learnt some good bits.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The lessons were packed with so much value information. I took the course over 6 weeks to allow the lessons to sink in. So much to be learned in a few short modules so I best get back to module one and start over!

The course was easy to navigate and understand. The teaching style was informative, to the point, and easily understood. I liked the ease of test taking as well as the ease of fitting the course to my schedule and timeline.

This course was extremely informative and gave a lot of in depth knowledge on the field of writing for children. It is mostly geared toward England, but it is fairly easy to apply to America. The tests were just a bit ambiguous in the types of questions it asked..."what is the LEAST...what is the MOST..." then offered several answers that could apply. That part of the course was a bit frustrating but there were not enough of these types of questions per test to stop you from being able to pass it and move on. I think if they reworded the test questions to make them a bit more direct, it would eliminate this frustration and just focus on the strength of the class which is all the great knowledge it supplies. I would definitely recommend it if you are interested in the Children's Book field.

I would recommend this course to anyone who has a passion for writing. This course takes you step-by-step on how to write a children's book, going from talking about how to get an idea written into words on paper to getting your book published. I can't wait to use everything I've learned from this course into my current and future writing projects.

I purchased your story writing course along with a certificate but anytime I've tried to log in with my groupon voucher, I get a message saying the voucher is no longer any good. I can't get any help from Groupon so maybe you can help me?

I ran across this certification on groupon. I never had an interest in writing children books ever , but for the deal they were offering I couldn't help but to take it. I started the first module on the date of purchase and completed the first module and test within the first hour of purchasing. Sounds fairly easy right ? I noticed the power points were very well presented and were not at all boring or ''originally'' done. Overall I really liked the experience I would say that you guys shouldn't make us pay for the certificates though , I was hoping it would have been free for the official seal version. And there should also be a feature that students can make and customize profiles to interact with other readers and authors. Networking is all about growth

The course was set out into modules, which helped you feel like you were achieving throughout the course. The content was clearly written and provided useful tips without patronising. Having worked in on-line education and training for a number of years, I would definitely recommend the course.

I found this course to be easily followed and gave me the re-assurance to continue with my story (which I had put away in a drawer years ago) with the added confidence of how to structure it. The Guidance and information given will allow any writer to create their story and to put their ideas, and thoughts down on paper for the enjoyment of others. A must for any budding authors,

I get it, every loves money and wants more of it. However, I was slightly disturbed to see that money was the main focus of the course. I suppose there are those that want to write a book for the sole purpose of making money, but not being one of those people, I was appalling to see money plastered all over the first module.

The content of the modules was ok enough. There were some good pieces of information but you needed to pick them out from the excessive use of examples. I found the subject headings for each module to inaccurate most of the time. A section of a module would start on one topic and then go into a tangent, but still under the guise of the original topic. And there were a disturbing number of typos that I would not expect if I happened to be one of those that paid full price. Thankfully I discovered the course on Groupon, so I only lost $20. This course is definitely not worth the full price.

This course made me feel as if I was being shown the ropes by a good friend of mine, one more than willing to share their secrets.

I enjoyed this course. It contained a large amount of valuable material aimed at improving both your writing skills, and what to do with your work once you've finished writing it. It was an honest course, and helps you to gain the skills to be successful. The only think I would like to see on the course is the submission of work.
