Writing Chapter Books - September Course

After the success of the previous course, I shall be running my WRITING CHAPTER BOOKS course again starting Monday 11th September.


I'm the author of the Autumn Moonbeam series, and I'm going to be running a 6-week online Writing Chapter Books course. 



The course will be mainly Slack based to make is more accessible and flexible for people to attend when it's convenient to them. There will be weekly handouts, lots of writing exercises, inspiration and weekly discussions that you can join in or add to in your own time if you can't make it live.

A few testimonials from writers on the previous course:


Writing Chapter Books with Emma Finlayson-Palmer is brilliant. After 6 weeks, I have a clearer understanding of this niche area of children's publishing and a solid story idea to build on. The course is well structured to help participants generate compelling characters, playful plots and wonderful worlds to weave them altogether in. The exercises in the live workshops are helpful and Emma is generous with her time and knowledge, answering our many questions and providing supportive resources. I'm thankful to Emma and the other writers - it's a fantastic course and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone curious about creating chapter books.

I really enjoyed this accessible and informative course that Emma provided. The information was superior and I felt that I learnt everything I needed to know about chapter books.
