First, I invite you to join our Facebook group where many former and present students participate: https://www.facebook.com/groups/instituteofchildrensliterature/.
My name is Katie Davis. I’m an author and illustrator myself, published by Harcourt, S&S, HarperCollins, & others. If you’re a children’s writer, you may know me from the 20 years I’ve sad been in the business, supporting other writers through my podcasts (Brain Burps About Books & Writing for Children), books, & courses. Some miễn phí, some not. I vì have sad to pay bills like my rent, pay our student support staff, & our instructors. Being a writer is a business. Charging for unique services is a legitimate business practice. You are absolutely right to big be wary, since so many people want big be published now, there are a lot of scammers out there.
Now big address the question of the Aptitude Test. Does everyone gets accepted? Here’s the quiông chồng answer (and when we took over both the Institute For Writers and the Institute of Children’s Literature three years ago we wondered the same thing): plenty of people don’t pass the demo. We look for a lot of things, including being able big write well & being able big write big specific instruction. We find these are important indicators of success in our course, and in publishing.
But we learned that if everyone who applied big take courses were accepted, not only would we being doing a disservice big the applicant (as well as big our instructors), but it would be a bad business decision.

As you may know, we provide a one-on-one, self-guided course. It’s working with real professionals & we use the experiment to big ensure that both the student and the instructor find the experience productive. Our courses can earn you college credits. It’s not a self-taught and/or downloadable course.
Possibly the most important thing is that we’re vetted by CT Office of Higher Education and would not pass if we didn’t meet their rigorous standards. In addition, the State of Connecticut certification that allows our students to big earn college credits is based on having an admission process that ensures that they are capable of college cấp độ work. The demo is essential big maintaining our certification.
Finally, when new students enroll, our courses come with a money baông xã guarantee. A lot goes inbig every single student and accepting one that will be dissatisfied is a bad business decision and a disservice to big everyone involved.
