Suzanne Lieurance, the working writer’s coach, has just introduced a brand new e-course for children’s writers: Tricks of the Trade: Learn to Write for Children in Just 6 Weeks !

In case you’re not familiar with Ms. Lieurance, let me tell you a little bit about her:

Suzanne Lieurance is the epitome of an entrepreneur. She is a fulltime children’s author, freelance writer, and The Working Writer’s Coach. She teaches children’s writing for the Institute of Children’s Literature based in West Redding, Connecticut, and is the founder and director of the National Writing for Children Center. Lieurance is the author of 20 published books and has written articles for a variety of magazines, newsletters, and ezines like Family-Fun, Kansas City Weddings, Instructor Magazine, New Moon for Girls, Children’s Writer, and many others. She hosts a talk show about children’s books, called Book Bites for Kids, every weekday afternoon on blogtalkradio.com. Lieurance offers a variety of coaching programs via private phone calls, teleclasses, listserv, and private email for writers who want to turn their love of writing (for children and/or adults) into a part-time or full-time career.

I am taking the Tricks of the Trade e-course and am working on week 3’s lesson which is why I have the confidence to tell you it’s worth every penny. Each lesson is divided into 3 detailed and easy to understand parts.

Let me give you a brief overview of what the first two lessons contain:

Lesson 1

Here you’re given the basics for writing for children—the foundation to build upon. You are also shown how children’s books are grouped into different genres. And, you’re let in on some of the common mistakes new writers tend to make—you’re also given advice on how to avoid them.

Lesson 2

This lesson describes in detail how to format your manuscript and provides advice on following submission guidelines. It also gives tips on punctuation, dialogue, and much more.

You get 6 individual lessons to get you on the road to writing for children and working toward having your work published.

But that’s not all! If you register right now, this e-course includes a 2 month membership in the Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club, so every person who purchases this course has the opportunity to have his/her assignments professionally reviewed and critiqued by Suzanne or another published children’s author on staff at the National Writing for Children Center each week. And, as an  special bonus you’ll get  4 additional instructional CDs with tips for freelance writers.

Learning the business of writing can be overwhelming. How do you hook an editor? What’s the difference between picture books and easy readers? How do you show rather than tell? The list of questions is endless. Tricks of the Trade: Learn to Write for Children in Just 6 Weeks! is a practical, easy to understand, detailed, and a fantastic e-course that helps answer your questions and guides you into a children’s writing career.
