Last week, I mentioned that former student Mitch Lewis dropped in his first book “Little Red Ute”, published by Scholastic. I’ve finally had a chance to read it and I LOVE IT!Writing a children’s book is a big achievement. A common misconception is that it’s easier because the books are shorter – but nothing could be further from the truth. As many former students of our course “Writing Books for Children and Young Adults” can attest, there are so many factors to consider when you’re writing for young people. It’s not just about writing down the bedtime stories you tell your kids.
The good news is that our course will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to get started on your children’s book.
This course in Writing Books for Children and Young Adults will cover:
- how to get started
- finding the right voice
- creating characters and stories young readers will enjoy
- how to write believable dialogue
- common assumptions about writing for children and about young readers
- how to structure a story that works
- the secrets to plotting for different age groups
- what you need to know about getting into the children’s publishing market
Course: Writing books for children and young adults with Judith Ridge
When: Wednesdays starting Wednesday 7 July for five weeks
Time: 6.30 - 8.30pm
Cost: $395

TIP: Lay or Lie?
Do you lay down or lie down? Do I lay my book on the table or do I lie it down? There is a simple way to make sure you are using the right word here. Lay and lie have very similar meanings. (We’re ignoring one meaning of lie, which is to tell an untruth.) Lie, or lie down, is ‘to be in a horizontal, recumbent, or prostrate position’, or to be something other than sitting or standing. Lay means ‘place on a surface’ or ‘put or place in a horizontal position’.
The big difference between the two is that lay requires a direct object, where lie does not. In other words, you lay something down but people lie themselves down. Just keep this table in mind...
| Lie | Lay |
|
| Present |
Now I lie down | Now I lay my book on the table. |
| Past | Yesterday I lay down. | Yesterday I laid my book on the table. |
| Perfect |
I have lain down. | I have laid my book on the table. |
You know what this means don’t you? It means Bob Dylan was wrong when he sang ‘Lay, Lady Lay’!
(And yes that's my kitty Rex in the picture.)

Get noticed, online
According to literary agent, Nathan Bransford, ‘Every [writer] should have some sort of Googlable web presence so that when someone sees your work or hears about you they have a way to contact you.’ He’s right, but not every writer knows about the endless online opportunities available to them. So, we’ve asked Tristan Bancks to show you.

Proof that you’re never too old to write that book you’ve always had in you...
In Wales this week 82-year-old Teacher and theatre director Myrrha Stanford-Smith is celebrating the launch of her first book, The Great Lie.

Write and make your short film
Tropfest, In the Bin, Flickerfest – these are just a few of the many successful short film festivals held in Australia. It’s proof that short films are popular with audiences, and can be a great way to get started in the movie industry and showcase your screenwriting talents.
If you have a great idea for a short film but aren’t sure where to start, our next Script Writing for Short Films course starts soon. It will cover:
Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the course:
‘I got a lot out of the course and am really glad that I enrolled. At this stage, making a film does seem to me like a very daunting prospect, but [Geoff has] helped me to understand how the process can be broken up into manageable steps.’
- Sue Joseph
‘The presenter was just fantastic. He told it how it was and he pulled no punches. Just honest, up front info that I really understood. He always asked for questions and gave detailed answers. [I have] nothing but the highest praise for Geoff.’
- Peter Bede Avery
This course is presented by Geoff Bartlett, who has written for several Australian TV shows and produced three short films. Two were semi finalists at Tropfest and one screened in competition at Flickerfest. They were also bought by Foxtel (The Comedy Channel), ABC TV, Qantas, Telstra and Japanese TV.

Did you know? Cardigan
James Thomas Brudenell was the seventh Earl of Cardigan, and also the leader of the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War – a disastrous military defeat for England that was, regardless, immortalised in Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem.
Brudenell was apparently a stylish man who was determined to have his men fitted out accordingly. He (supposedly) invented a knitted, button-down vest to be worn underneath battle uniforms to keep out the cold. The cardigan soon became a staple of the winter wardrobe and continues to be so today.
