I've been pondering about something for quite some time. Perhaps you would be kind enough to give me some input. The Institute of Children's Literature only accepts 32% of it's applicants. I was accepted, but can't decide if it's the right move in these economic times. If you've had experience with them, I would appreciate your input.
If you went through their program:
*Were you published prior to enrolling?
*How many pieces did you publish while taking the course?
*Did you get your money's worth?
*Did you ask for a refund?
*How has going through their program affected your writing?
*Are you closer to your goals because of the training you received or would you have gotten there anyway?
*Who did you work with?
*Would you do it again?
*Would you recommend it to your mother, if she suddenly took up writing?
I welcome all comments, good or bad.
If you get a chance to go to http://www.knowonder.com my story Peep, Peep, Peep is on page 69. If enough people vote for me I could have the honor of being one of the top three stories of the month. (Thanks in advance.)
