If you love creative writing you will love this 'Delicious Ways with Words' online course!

If you write novels for children/teens, and want to make them the best they can be, you will enjoy this step-by-step online course to go through at your own pace, wherever you are in the world.

It doesn't matter if you don't know what onomatopoeia is right now, or know the difference between a metaphor and a simile... by the end of the course you will be buzzing with exciting ways to breathe new life into your novel!

If you are writing to share the good news of Jesus in some way, your novel will already be extra special, because it has eternal value...

but the better written it is, the more children will read and enjoy it!

Our children are worth a bit of extra effort. In the parable of the talents, the servants who received the gifts had to put them to work... the servant who buried his talent was in trouble - don't let that be you!

Most writers struggle on alone hoping their writing is good enough, but, as with any field of life, a little bit of help can work wonders. This course can help you transform your novel with a few simple, proven tweaks.

“Thank you for taking the time to educate those of us who feel we have a story just waiting to erupt from the depths of our souls.”
