“What a great masterclass! There is so much content to consume out there and so many classes to pick from if like me you'd like to become a picture book author. This masterclass was the perfect first step in my writing journey. I'd been trying to bring my idea to life for a couple of years; I had a promising idea and setting, but never seemed to get anywhere with the storyline. After taking this masterclass, I followed the advice given by Julia and decided to move on to a different idea. Within a few days, I managed to develop the storyline of my new book. Don't get me wrong, it's not a matter of waving a magic wand and conjuring up a book - you will still need to put in the work. But the course will give you a step-by-step guide on how to get started, what to do when you're stuck, and more importantly, what to do once you are happy with your manuscript. Worth every penny!”

“I have spent my careetr working with children, and have loved children's books always. Of course I also loved reading to my own children. The library was one of our favorite places. I was thrilled to see my own children pass on this love of reading to their littles with joy and expression. When I saw Julia's course, my heart skipped a beat! My own little notebook is tattered and well loved, within it dreams, plans and ideas of my own stories. I sincerely enjoyed every one of her lessons, and have a renewed sense of getting back to my many tales. Thank you Julia Donaldson and BBC!

“It was facinating to hear how she develops her ideas into stories. I enjoyed hearing about her thought processes for story lines and charaters. I didn't know the tecnacalities about how many pages there are and how they are put together to make a book. That was new information. This was a very interesting subject.”

“Julia Donaldon's Writing Picture Books course is excellent. In a clear, warm and accessible presentation she generously takes you through all the practical linformation you need as to laying out the text, the number of words, as well as ideas, different genres, language, illustration and finally submission. Julia even introduces you to her agent and editor to ask what they look for. Each short concise lesson has is focussed on a different aspect of writing a picture book with examples. She has clarified the whole business for me and has inspired me to try and write one.”
