By award-winning author of more than 150 children's books. Learn writing techniques used by the best books in the genre.

My name is Eve Heidi Bine-Stock. I am an award-winning author of more than 150 children’s picture books. I am excited to offer this course to share with you important writing techniques that will make your own book shine!

There are plenty of courses on “how to write a children’s book.” So why one more? Because this course offers something the others don’t: A close look at word choice; word placement; sentence structure; sentence flow; and scene building. This is the course you need when you’re editing your first draft, and later, when you’re fine-tuning your story to make it the best it can be.

This course is for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced children's book writers. It will be helpful if you have already written a rough draft of a children's book, because the assignments relate to your own story.

In this course, you’ll learn how to choose words to give your story meaning and cohesion. (Cohesion is the “glue” that holds the story together.)

You’ll learn how to change sentence structure to emphasize the information that’s important; and to ensure that sentences flow easily from one to another.

And you’ll learn how to begin a scene, how to end it, and how to create the Beats of action-reaction that make up the scene.

We’ll study techniques used in the best children’s picture storybooks, so you can apply them to your own writing!
