So, You Want To Write A Children’s Book?
The Malaysian children’s publishing industry is still in its infancy and one of the things it lacks is authors who are passionate about writing children’s literature.
This course, conducted by Daphne Lee, will help aspiring writers of children’s books get started in their chosen field.
The course covers:
• an introduction to children’s literature, including types of books for children
• finding the right genre and subject to write about
• finding your own voice
• creating characters and plots that young readers will enjoy
• how to avoid dumbing down
• writing in vernacular English
• illustrations for children’s books
• what to do once you’ve written your story
