This is an amazing course. I recommend it as an overview to writing children's books. In taking this course, I am able to choose the type of children's book I want to concentrate upon. Rob's presentation is short and to the point. Take notes and review the sections most relevant to you. Robyn's sections are greatly helpful and serve as the icing on the information cake. I enthusiastically recommend this course for anybody who has an interest in writing children's books !

Nice course with some good ideas to remember and apply. I lacked the examples however - it would have been nice to see a few good examples which represent best the different categories. The video with Robyn is cringy at some places but still, I appreciated the ideas shared.

Blessings Udemies, the course has lots of valuable information for beginner writers. The lessons took less than 2 hours of my day and from it I gained more insight a long with clarification on the process of writing children's books and completing projects successfully. I've already begun revising my manuscript with the information gained and I feel confident in moving forward into greater success with my characters. Thank you instructor Parnell.

I think it covered most of what I was looking for. I would have loved for it to go into further detail on the publishing process and illustration process.

I am a Turkish academician in Civil Engineering.This course is a very good match for me. As Rob's English and talking pace makes the subject easily understandable. So far his attitude is so motivating.
