Consultancy
This service is suitable for authors who prefer a more personal approach and want to have a one-to-one general discussion, a tutorial, or to look at a specific piece of work. We offer phone and face to face consultations.
Home Study
This is a highly individual and personalized tuition service based on Louise Jordan’s book How to Write for Children and Get Published. The course is run and tutored by Louise herself, assisted by senior editors.
The Writers’ Advice Centre for Children’s Books is a literary consultancy service offering advice and training to children’s writers. Since 1994, we have been providing new and published children’s writers with expert advice and encouragement which can hugely increase chances of publication.
We work with of all types of children’s books, including picture books, fiction, non-fiction & poetry. We offer detailed manuscript assessments – by email or post, via our dedicated telephone advice line, or at face-to-face editorial meetings. We also offer a home study course and writers’ workshops.
There is no other advice service offering such a solid sounding board from professionals who successfully write and publish children’s books. It has always been this inside knowledge of the children’s publishing world which gives the Writers’ Advice Centre its edge.
