Writing for Young Readers

I learnt so much and have gained so much confidence, in writing skills.

Thank you so much to all who made this course available!Bests,Angelita Valencia Very interesting but the certificate are not received soon Loved the stories of the contributers!

Thank you so much for this wonderful course!!!

I'm an English teacher, so much of this was second-hand to me.

I got so much from the lectures, interviews, and exercise.

Thank-you so much for the course!!!

This course was very helpful and contained valuable information for a beginning writ I've learned so much from this course.

I had so much fun in this course.

Some students were brutal in their grading because one was over the word count by a few words, so be aware of that, if you are going to undertake this 'course'.This is not so much a course which leads to some sort of exam or qualification (dictionary.cambridge.org) but an independent information acquirement experience.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for all the work that you've put into this course!

So much to get your inspiration from and qualified to teachers to guide you along the way.

I learned a lot about how to write for young readers.thank you A very introductory course that helps in getting an idea on how to write for young readers.

This course has some very distinct and informative material which was terrific for learning about writing for young readers.

The course 'Writing for Young Readers: Opening the Treasure Chest' helped me advance in my writing and rethink my approach in way.

Anyone that wants to write for young readers would do well to take this course.

Great course for learning the basics of writing for young readers.

Granted it is a course for learning to write for young readers, you can also learn how to write for an older audience as well.

Is this also useful for stories for young readers?I learned a lot but perhaps there should be a second course.

Not only for young readers, in general!

Would be nice if there's a follow-up course on 'Publishing'.One more thing, not sure why it's called 'Writing for young readers',....

I feel, there's not a lot specifically on writing for young readers.I'd say it's more like a (general) "introduction to writing stories".

However, it still is insightful and inspirational as, 'Writing for Young Readers' is taught by two established children writers and, packed with interviews of other writers from all around the world.

This course is really meant for beginning writers for Young Readers.

David Hill is simply superb with clarity and focus on small small things that matter for young writers and readers alike.

Professor David Hill is enchanting.

I will highly recommend it to anyone interested in writing for children.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it for novice writers.

Very good course which I'd highly recommend to writer beginners and those, like myself, who need to brush up and learn a few more techniques.

I highly recommend it!

I highly recommend this course I am loving this course and it feels liberating to write again, after so many months of idleness.

I highly recommend taking this course.

only just started this course but already enjoying it very much wonderfull Very helpful and easy to follow I liked this course a lot.

The information is good and at a pace that is easy to follow.

I am learning a lot and improving my writing skills.

The assignments had helped a lot with improving my writing skills when it comes to fiction writing.

I just wished there was a better system for peer reviews, because I couldn't get any helpful tips or feedbackthrough them.

The assignments are well thought out though there was some confusion when it came to peer reviews and how to assess word count which the staff are trying to sort out.

Peer reviews were very varied as some people just wrote one word down which was no help at all, while someone inexperienced wil struggle with this I think the course should include an early module on reading and critically as reviewing someone's work is a great aid to writing and editing your own work.

Course paperwork could include a critical checklist to help with peer reviews.

The interviews were another interesting addition to the course, as the peer reviews: they were not created or structured to lead to failure but to selfimprovement an improvement trough other's advices.

In general, I found peer reviews not very helpful.

It also put me in contact with other young authors and going along with them was both inspirational and rewarding.The course lectures are very carefully curated and the two narrators, David Hill and Maria Gill, have made efforts to keep the participatns fascinated in many ways.

Instructors David Hill and Maria Gill were great and they taught in very effective manners and so were the guest speakers.

Not to mention that David Hill and Maria Gill both do an excellent job!

The instructors are great and all the guest speakers are delightful and interesting.
