For more than 40 years, the Institute of Children’s Literature has offered the premier writing course, books, and a newsletter to adults interested in learning how to write and be published for children and teens. The hallmark of our course is one-on-one personalized instruction from an impressive faculty of active professional writers and experienced editors. College credits are available for all courses. Instruction is conveniently available everywhere via the traditional home study method—with lessons exchanged either through the mail or via the Internet.

This site offers our Writing Aptitude Test, and information on our monthly Children’s Writer newsletter and on our very popular Children’s Writer Guide annual review of the field. In Rx for Writers our Web Editor, Jan Fields, provides articles on the writing life, tips on honing your writing, online interviews with experts (including transcripts), open chat rooms for all experience levels from beginning to working writers, and weekly announcements of new articles and upcoming interviews.

We’re here to serve you and we welcome your suggestions. Please leave us your comments and return often.
Please go to our Writing Aptitude Test to fill it out on screen and submit it online. You can also download it. If you have already submitted and passed our Writing Aptitude Test, you may go to Enroll to use our secure online link to the Registrar’s Office.
