August 9, 2019– The question for this week is:
Q: “Lacey, I’m looking into taking some writing classes to improve my technique, I’m overwhelmed with how many there are and I’m starting to wonder, are they worth the cost?”
A: I love this question! Taking any type of class to improve yourself is always worth the investment. If you’re considering a career in writing, it’s especially important to hone your skills so that you can be successful in whatever genre of writing you choose. Be sure to take classes from credible sources! If someone in your local community is teaching a course on writing children’s books, make sure that they’ve written a few children’s books of their own that have been published. Never take advice from someone who hasn’t walked the walk. Good courses to consider are from Writer’s Digest, your local universities, and colleges (as long as the teacher’s have a proven track record and have been published). Make the investment in yourself and for your future! X LLB
