“Julia's course was my first introduction to BBC Maestro and it certainly did NOT disappoint.
Julia Donaldson's books were a favourite in our household when my son's were little, and there wasn't a night when at least one of her books was read. It was wonderful having a chance to listen to her explain how a children's picture book is created.
Her love and passion for creating children's books came through in every single lesson and she has shared a wealth of information encompassing the entire process from coming up with the original idea all the way through to publication and beyond.
Julia has made me believe that maybe, just maybe I might be able to give story writing a go and I'm thankful I saw the advertisement for her course and decided to give it a go.”

“Julia is just lovely and shares her process with charm and insight. I'm an illustrator and have always felt a creative block when it comes to writing my own stories. Julia's lessons and exercises have been incredibly helpful in teaching me how to approach the writing side of picture books. It only took a few lessons before ideas were sparking and I've finished the course with several picture book ideas that I am so excited to refine!”

“Fantastic course, thank you Julia. I've made up stories throughout my children's childhood and kept notes all the way along in the hope that one day I'll write a book. Now they're both off to university, one hoping to become a writer or work in publishing herself, I'm finally, at the grand old age of 60, and with your helpful course, going to have a crack. Wish me luck!!”
