Unlock the Magic of Chapter Books!

Chapter books are that perfect sweet spot between picture books and middle grade novels—offering writers the freedom to tell longer stories without diving into epic word counts. From whimsical fantasies and heartfelt family tales to mysteries, historical adventures, and laugh-out-loud fun, chapter books have it all. And the best part? They still include illustrations that captivate readers ages 6 to 9!

Whether you're dreaming of a one-off adventure or crafting the next must-read series, this course gives you everything you need to succeed—just like so many of our published students have. Packed with engaging examples, hands-on exercises, and powerful insights, this course helps you grow beyond picture books and step confidently into the exciting world of chapter books.

"This course is a MUST for anyone interested in writing in this exciting genre. Great content... great feedback... great opportunities to get your questions answered, to get an amazing critique or to just connect with other like-minded authors! And if you are someone who already knows you love writing chapter books (and maybe even knows a lot about writing them) this course gives you that "push" that you need to get in and get writing... and do it right! Don't miss it!"

"The Children’s Book Academy rocks. I’ve taken 3 classes and each one was like a mini MFA program. The depth of the information is challenging, but the support system is amazing. I have made real friends and watched my writing and illustrating get better and better. I am so happy to have found these classes and will be using these materials for every writing and illustration project I embark upon from here on."
