“This is a brilliant course, in which one of the very, very best writers of children's picture books generously shares the knowledge she has built up whilst writing God knows how many great books.
As well as being hugely informative, the lessons are delivered in a warm and friendly manner, and the exercises are well thought-out and accessible, with many being open-ended enough you can do as much - or as little - as you like. (I'd heartily recommend the former).”

“Dear Julia,
After the recent death of my eldest son Samuel, I have to admit that I am struggling to find the love or purpose to carry on with my chosen artistic career. Samuel was just 21 years and 3 months old when he was killed. He loved books from a very early age, so when I saw your course promoted online, I like to believe, that it was fate (and Samuel) nudging me to a more purposeful change of direction.
Thankyou for the time and effort that you put into this course, it has helped me by working as a coping mechanism for my grief, which I know I will feel for the rest of my life.”

“I love Julia's course. I never fail to gain a new insight from each one, despite the fact that I have taken all the masterclasses I can find. She is easy to understand and encouraging. She has also emailed me as a student, which I found to be delightful, helpful and unexpected. Another note is that I have gained much value from the PDF resources which come with the class.
With everything so expensive these days in the USA, I had really considered canceling or pausing my different subscriptions, and I have done that for many things and may have to continue as our health insurance is $3,408 per month now. But so far, I cannot bring myself to cancel Maestro, and Julia is a big part of the reason why.”

“Julia is so knowledgeable about writing children's books and gives very good examples from her own books and other writer's picture books she and her children have enjoyed and why. She gives you workable exercises to do in your own time and is realistic about writing picture books, even though she is very famous! Julia is very easy to listen to, making every lesson a joy to start.”

“I was attracted to her course because of her books however I feel like the course could have been done in half the time. 27 lessons at 15 minutes is 6 hours and I was falling asleep after four. I thought the exercises like storyboarding characters, baddies etc was good but all too slow for me.”

“I have dabbled with writing for quite some time now but never known how to take it to the next stage and why work submitted to publishers has been deemed good despite a refusal to publish. To have elements that combine to make up a story for a specific audience broken down into smaller elements so that they can be shared and learnt from has given food for thought.”
