LESSONS

 

The four lessons are the meat of this course. They offer lectures that will take you through the children’s book industry from an author’s perspective.

 

In addition to the lectures, slide shows and examples are included. Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, the slide shows may take up to ten minutes to download.

 

If you are unable to access the slide shows, do not worry. They are all bonus materials to enhance the lessons and are not required to understand the course. The most important information is contained in the lectures.
