Writing Children’s Stories for Beginners

According to writer and children’s literature specialist Fanuel Hanán Díaz, the best way to transform a person’s world is by telling them stories in the magical phase of childhood. Let him show you how to channel your ideas in writing and compose a powerful story.

In this course, explore a range of narrative techniques to tell gripping stories to young readers through coherent universes, relatable characters, and strong discourse.

Start the course by stepping into the world of Fanuel Hanán as he shares his main influences, inspirations, and most-defining pieces as a children’s author.

Then get straight to work on defining your story by asking yourself what you want to write about, what type of character you’d like to design, where the story will take place, and how you imagine the ending. Fanuel helps you answer all these questions and more talking about inspiration and how to awaken it.

Now it’s time to get stuck in! Prepare for the most important part of the process: letting your imagination take the reins. Leave fear and preconceptions at the door, and don’t second guess yourself however wild your ideas may seem at first. This is how you get the most out of each idea and can build a strong basis for your story.

To finish up, Fanuel teaches you how to polish off your piece by taking a step back from the text. Now you have the tools and techniques to refine your language, correct mistakes, assess the logical cohesion, and make sure your text has the necessary spark to engage young readers.
