Please have a manuscript ready either during the class duration or by the time you are ready to publish your book. You will also receive two free ebooks that are focused on children from the instructor who wrote the books after you have completed the class. A book idea is fine as well! If we have a larger class, we will work with the different levels the class is at in terms of this story journey. You would need to have a computer or laptop for publishing but could write your book on an iPad or tablet.

I would not publish any book from a child with "bad" material. Also, children should be accompanied by their parents while Zoom class sessions are taking place. The parents should be present at the time of the lesson. Parental guidance as well that third party tools such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing and Lulu.com are suggested for use in publishing the children's (learners) books, but not required. Please also pay attention to all third-party tools listed for this class in this posting. Children under the age of 13 years old are not advised to use Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing by Outschool.
