Many well-known children's authors began their careers writing for the education market and continue to do so alongside successful trade careers. Education publishing offers wonderful diversity and scope; it is also one of the best training grounds for emerging writers. But what exactly is it?
Education writers are paid to create resources that support the Australian primary school curriculum. If you think this sounds limiting, think again! An education writer can find themselves knee-deep in a historical fiction novel one moment and a biography of a famous inventor the next. It is engaging, varied and exacting all at once. Education writing is crafted to tightly written briefs and is heavily affected by editorial and design concerns, offering the perfect training environment for career writers. Writing for the education market sets writers up to spread their wings.
Find out how to get started in this introduction to the field. You'll learn about education briefs and guidelines, how to accommodate editorial considerations, and the basics of education publishing contracts. You'll find out what makes a winning manuscript, and you'll learn skills easily transferable to trade publishing.
This online course with author and educator Louise Park provides you with the knowledge and tools you need to write for the education market and involves submitting short writing exercises, and giving and receiving peer feedback. Participants will receive limited tutor feedback.
This one-week writing course, Online: Writing for the Education Market with Louise Park, takes place online.
