Supporting a Balanced and Well Connected Life Through Active Aging
You want to write a children’s book and don’t know where to start? By taking this course, you’ll learn how to target your audience, write relatable characters, and gain knowledge on story organization. As we go through the guidelines to master your own children’s book, you’ll leave this course with a solid start on your own original story, and some advice on pitfalls to avoid. Topics of illustrations, copyrighting, and publishing are also included.
Writing has been my passion since I was in elementary school, but only recently have I done anything professional with it. In the past, I struggled to get answers to the various questions related to writing a quality children’s book, and then, how to get it published. After retiring, I took several courses on writing and researched what I couldn’t find in the courses. I learned a lot in that process. I self-published my first children’s picture book in December 2024, titled “A Rainbow of Orange”. Now, I want to help others accomplish their dream of publishing a children’s book, and I created this course to do that. I’d like to see others experience the joy of holding their own published book.
My book is currently available on Amazon and at bookstores like Barnes & Noble. I have had several book signing events, given presentations, and lead story-time at multiple schools, bookstores, and various events in Minnesota. Some of these include Bel Air Elementary in New Brighton, as well as multiple Barnes & Noble locations.
