Opie says: I did a
"writing for children" course 9
years ago - Now I have over 70
published children's books.
Three of my
early children's books were written
during the "writing for children" course.
They were published in 2000.
How did I become a published
writer?
By learning from an expert!
It
wasn't just a case of studying the course notes.
No, the most important thing was the feedback
I received from my tutor, an experienced children's
author. I submitted stories or chapters for homework and
received great advice on how I could improve them and my
writing skills. It was easy, once I knew how. And I was
told how. I became a better writer - publishable - in a
matter of weeks.
You
can too!
And I'd like to help you.
Hi, I'm Robyn Opie, proud author of more
than 70 children's books. At the moment I'm working on
the screenplay of a movie, based on one of my books. The
anticipated release of the movie is late 2009.
In the mean time, I take great pleasure in
introducing:

Here is a little feedback from my previous students:
I
feel quite sad to be sending this lesson. This is
the end of the course. I have enjoyed working with
you a great deal. Your help and guidance has been
unbelievably helpful. I have loved taking the course and
feel I have grown as a writer. Wendy,
Spain
I found all the lessons, feedback and articles incredibly
insightful.
Your constructive feedback was extremely helpful too. You
obviously put a lot of effort into going through the
homework because your comments are very detailed. I can't
thank you enough. I don't think I could have found such
comprehensive information about writing for children
anywhere else. Lindee, South Australia
And here is
the course in a nut-shell:
Lesson

Getting
to know each other, setting goals, getting started,
style and mindset.
Lesson 2: Picture Books
Including inside ‘layout’ secrets, with
examples, tips on character,
plot & POV. Conflict, obstacles etc.
Lesson 3: Developing Ideas and Plotting
Children's Books
Finding
ideas and developing them until you have a plot for a
children's book.

to structure and pace short children’s stories based
on what we’ve learnt.

only’ downloads. This previously unavailable
information will seriously enhance your learning
experience.
Each module ends with an assignment or three. As this is
an eight-lesson course, you’ll be receiving a lesson
from me every week for eight weeks. However, I don’t
mind if it takes you more than eight weeks to complete
the course. I understand that you have a busy life. Tell
me about it! I know that sometimes things can take a
little longer than you imagine or desire. Don’t
worry. We’ll work at a pace that suits you and your
circumstances.
Previously sold for up to $47, this popular and fun ebook
is included in the cost of the Writing for Children
e-course. Not only is it packed with highly regarded
information, it will help you gain a much fuller
understanding of the genre.
Worth $20, this great ebook will help you assimilate the
course contents and show you how to use your newfound
knowledge to best advantage.
A
Student-Only E-Book of All My Articles
Worth up to $30 - if you could buy this valuable resource
anywhere in the world. But you can't. It's just for you -
my students. I've collated all of my articles into an
e-book. Now you have a great way to keep all of my
articles on writing and children's fiction so they're
close at hand whenever you need them.

Discounts on MS Assessment At certain stages in our careers, it’s important
to get professional feedback on our work. I, for one,
always have my manuscripts professionally assessed before
I submit them to publishers. As well as receiving my time
and guidance throughout the length of the course,
membership of this course also entitles you to a 35%
discount on my usual MS assessment fees. This alone could
save you $00s!

publishers with website links to help you locate
guidelines, contact details and other valuable

Remember the
most important thing!
Nine years ago, I too completed a 'writing
for children' course, just like this one. Back then, I
was asked to write a picture book, an early reader and a
chapter book for homework.
Three
of those assignments went on to be published!
Seriously!
That’s why I know you can seriously
benefit from taking my new course. Feedback is invaluable
when it comes to writing, especially feedback from a
professional writing in the industry today. Because, if
it can happen to me then…
As a gesture of good faith, because I truly believe

possible to help you in your writing career.
I look forward to working with you and helping to make
your dreams come true.
