Reviews on The Academy of Children's Writer

History
In 1981 we set out to design a correspondence course that would teach any literate person how to be a successful writer for children. We enlisted the help of leading educationalists and writers to create a comprehensive package that would take the novice writer step by step towards publication. The ‘Writing for Children’ course that resulted was an instant success.
Advantages of studying here
Over the past years it has been much refined and adapted and was completely revised last year to meet the needs of the modern writer. A comprehensive, attractive package containing all you need to know to become a published children’s writer.We believe that you cannot do justice to such a specialist area in a general writing course. This is why we specialise in teaching the skills of writing for children. We are the only writing school in the U.K with a proven and successful history in dealing specifically with writing for children.When you enrol with us you will become part of a small and caring writing school that prides itself on providing a personal service to students. To us you will not merely be a number on a computer but someone who seriously and genuinely wants to learn the techniques of writing for children. We fully appreciate that every writer is an individual, with his or her own interests, ideas and idiosyncrasies.
