Hurry hurry hurry – registration for art agent Lilla’s children’s book writing course, My Kid Book Pitch, closes TODAY! This course won’t run again until 2022, so if you want to write a kids’ book with Lilla this year then grab your spot here now!
Here’s why you should write a kids’ book
Sales of kids’ books soared during the first year of the pandemic, as we locked down and schools closed across the globe. Parents and carers turned to books to help educate their children, to show them a world outside the confines of their homes, to entertain them, to make up for lack of social interactions with their peers, and to share an enjoyable moment of mutual comfort and bonding. And honestly every five minutes that they didn’t spend on screens was a win back then, am I right?
And with the pandemic still ongoing, the boom is showing no sign of dissipating: Publishers Weekly reported in April 2021 that sales of print books rose 29.2% across all genres in the first quarter of 2021 compared with the first quarter of 2020, with juvenile fiction increasing an astonishing 39.6%.
Here’s a little sneak peek of the 123 page downloadable workbook you get in class. You’ll get instant access to the first section as soon as you sign up – register now!
What does this mean? That editors and publishers need your stories. And that there’s never been a better time to write a kids’ book.
Plus, creative people like you have incredible imaginations. Your quirky brain is full of mischief, magic and mayhem. It’s time to tap in to that marvellous mind of yours and let that story out.
Here’s how you can write a kids’ book
How do you write a kids’ book anyway? Maybe you’re not feeling very inspired after 18 months or so of low-key anxiety and having your world thrown into disarray. Maybe you’re absolutely bursting with ideas but you feel completely overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Maybe you’ve got a brilliant story idea but don’t know how to get it down on the page.
Just some of the kooky bits and pieces that make up Lilla’s brilliant Magic Cards, which are specially designed to tap into your wonderful imagination and unleash all the goodness hiding in there! There’s no other course like it. Get instant access now.
My Kid Book Pitch will fix all that. You’ll get INSTANT ACCESS to a ton of downloads, including Lilla’s nutty Magic Cards and the first part of your 123 page workbook that will take you through the whole process of coming up with stories, honing in on one, creating a narrative and polishing it all to perfection, but – because it’s Lilla – every step of the journey is based on playing with your characters, so it’s hugely enjoyable and deceptively simple. Because, after all, people buy your joy.
Plus you’ll get weekly assignments that build your children’s book step by step so it’s never overwhelming, twice-weekly live Zooms with your teachers, art agent Lilla Rogers and children’s book art director and author Zoë Tucker, plus pop-ins with art agent and game creator Riley Wilkinson, to answer your questions and fill you with inspiration, and access to our private Facebook course group to motivate you and cheer you on your way.
Are you in? Are you ready to write a kids’ book? Then hurry hurry hurry – this is your very last chance until next year! Don’t miss out. Book your spot here.
Lots of love
