My daughter Dani and I have created many online classes, available through Writing Academy. Several of the video classes expand upon the written college-level courses offered through ed2go, taking advantage of the additional depth provided by a video presentation.
Of all these courses, our favorite is Young Adult Fiction Writing. It’s a subject dear to both our hearts, and one in which we’ve both written extensively.
Our Young Adult video course is not just a rich source of information, but also a spirited exchange of ideas and opinions. My favorite part of the course is the discussion of our favorite books, where we explore everything that makes them great, from plot to covers. And of course, that makes it a great source of inspiration for your own Young Adult novel.
We had the course transcribed, and then began what turned into a two-year editing project to produce what I believe is the very best book you can purchase about Writing Young Adult Fiction.
