Still have questions?
Below are answers to frequently asked questions…
Q. When does the course start?
A. Whenever you’re ready! Because it’s designed as an independent study, and delivered to you digitally via email, the course may be started – and completed – at any time you choose.
Q. Do I have to complete it in 8 weeks or may I go at my own pace?
A. You may absolutely go at your own pace. Although the material and assignments will be delivered to you weekly for 8 weeks, simply save everything to your files and work on each segment or assignment when you’re ready.
Q. I live overseas. Can I still take the course?
A. Yes! Because everything is delivered digitally, you may take the course from anywhere in the world. And, because the publishing industry is so globally-minded, the course is relevant to writing children’s books wherever you are.
Q. I write non-fiction. Does this course have any value for me?
A. If you write narrative non-fiction (for example, a story-driven account of an event, or a life) then this course will have great value for you. If what you write is concept books, how-to or other fact-based non-fiction, then this is not the course for you.
