Leading New Zealand children�s writer Joy Cowley has contributed her years of expertise in both writing and teaching to Whitireia�s online Writing for Children course.
Almost every kid in New Zealand has read Joy Cowley�s delightful school readers and children�s books. Older readers have loved her teenage and adult fiction. Now she has made her teaching notes available to the Whitireia Creative Writing Programme. They have been incorporated in the online Writing for Children course, offered as part of the online Diploma in Creative Writing.
The course was offered for the first time in 2006, and was full almost as soon as it was advertised. It runs for 16 weeks, and covers the range of children�s writing, with plenty of information about publishers and other opportunities.
Shaped around Joy Cowley�s notes, given so generously, the course also includes contributions from other leading children�s writers.
