Email Poetry Course

I am once again offering my email poetry course, Beyond Jack and Jill: A Study in Children's Poetry. This four-week class covers rhyme, meter, and scansion. Students will read a variety of poetry and gain a good understanding of poetry forms and the tools poets use in creating their works. Students are asked to read at least 2 children’s poetry collections per week. Students will be asked to submit 2 of their own poems for critique each week. I will also share children's poetry market information with students. This class is designed to be completed in four weeks, but if something comes up and you need extra time to complete assignments, I'm flexible. The cost of the class is $100.
For those of you who do not know me, I’m the author of nine books, eight of which are for children. I'm the former poetry editor for Wee Ones Magazine. I've written two poetry ebooks for A to Z Kid's Stuff. I've had over 60 pieces of fiction, nonfiction and poetry accepted for publication in magazines.
If you are interested in registering and/or if you have any questions, please email me at kiddos@warpnet.net.

  4. I'm curious about the format. I aspire to write picture books. Would you be able to work on those projects in the course?
