Writing Classes :: Karen King, Children's Writer ::

Writing Tuition

I have a Certificate in Education, a HNC in Media and many years of experience as a writing tutor. Until I moved from Cornwall I was a part time lecturer on the MA in Professional Writing course and the BA Illustration course at the University College, Falmouth, where I also ran Summer Schools on writing for the children's market.

I have tutored online for the TrAce Online Writing School, and via correspondence for the Open College of Arts. I wrote several modules of the 'Writing for Children' course and the complete 'Write for Profit Using the Internet' course for the Writer's Bureau. I also wrote a guide for the ICS 'Writing for Children' course.

I now tutor for The Writer's Bureau and Oxford Open Learning. I also run writing workshops and provide appraisals of manuscripts. email me for information on any of these services.

Thank you so much for your expert guidance. I have learnt so much about writing children's stories from you over the past few months and have thoroughly enjoyed it.' Rebekah
