What is a good correspondence writing course about children's writing?

If you read writing magazines such as "Writer's Digest" and "The Writer," there may be an advertisement about becoming a children's writer on the first page or so. The advertisement specifies that you need to take a writing test in order to be considered for acceptance into their children's writing program. Usually when I see these types of ads I think, what a scam - they probably accept everyone. But one day I felt like taking a chance and I'm glad I did. The advertisement was for The Institute of Children's Literature. They have various correspondence courses that are at beginner and advanced levels. You can focus on fiction or nonfiction novel writing and/or children's magazine articles. I took the writing test and was accepted. (Of course I thought, still a little reticent about the selectiveness.) The first mailing brought a huge binder filled with great information about children's writing. My instructor had an extensive, impressive background in children's writing as well. I looked her up on the internet just to make sure! The correspondence course consists of a beginning course. You have ten assignments. You have about one month to complete and mail in each assignment. Your instructor replies within one month each time as well. Typically it takes two years to complete the program. There is some flexibility to take more time or go faster. I wrote several articles and had an article accepted by "Listen" magazine during this time. I then took the advanced course that covers novel writing and had my children's middle grade novel published. You can view this at www.dobbsdogdetective.com. The website for The Institute of Children's Literature is www.institutechildrenslit.com. You can improve children's writing with a software program called StoryWizard.It is at http://www.WriteExpress.com/creativewriting/ Most colleges require written essays for admission. Also recommended is buying journals for you and your children. Set aside a time every night to write in them. Don't forget to get one for yourself too and participate with your kids. Finally, you might want to check out the Children's Writing Workshops at http://www.writersonlineworkshops.com/retail/categories.aspx?r=childrens-writing. They offer online, inexpensive, and thorough workshops in many genres.
