‘Completing this course is one of the best things I’ve ever done. It’s fun, insightful and comprehensive providing all the expert knowledge you need to help build readers of the future . . . what could be more amazing than that!’
WRITER, YOUNG FICTION COURSE

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above then my Young Fiction Writing course could be just what you’re looking for.

As a children’s editor with over thirty years’ experience, working with many publishers and numerous published writers, I have developed this course to help writers learn how to come up with commercial and unique concepts, and to then translate these ideas into stories that children will want to read.

Over the course of twelve weeks, you’ll gain access to over £3000-worth of my editorial time for only £400 and learn how to develop a bestselling concept from idea to elevator pitch, and everything in between.

‘Kathy’s enthusiasm is infectious. I found her supportive and encouraging throughout the course, and afterwards with her advice for taking my project further.’
