Courses

If you want to write for kids, learn how to write for kids well. Read ‘how-to’ books. Go to conferences. Join a critique group. Do the work to make your writing the best it can be. Take our classes! In Chicken Scratch Writing School, some of our courses are free. Some are much more in depth. We want you to become the best writer you can be before you submit your manuscript to us, so take advantage of these classes. 

If you’ve read one of our books, (or are planning to read one) and want to be able to study it even more – with help from the author – here’s your chance! In our Chicken Scratch Reading School, we offer Novel Study Courses for each of our books, featuring the authors themselves. These courses are perfect for classrooms, homeschools, or readers just wanting to meet their favorite authors.
