Overview
What you will study
Once upon a time someone realized that children's stories didn't have to start with those four words, that there was more to children's writing than fairy tales. And that's just one of the things you'll learn for yourself in this Writing for Children course offered by Concordia University Montréal.
You'll learn about what it takes to write a book and get it published. Most of all, you'll hone your skills as a writer with hands-on assignments that might just help you reconnect with your inner child. And from that point on, you'll live happily ever after.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Identify the forms and types of writing for various age groups of children;
- Identify strategies for navigating the children’s publishing world;
- Identify the processes by which books for children are conceived, published, and marketed;
- Create your own picture book or chapter book from brainstorming through to completion;
- Critique your own and other students’ work within the context of in-class workshops;
- Manage and adhere to deadlines.
