I listened to it live on my computer speakers and was seeing a powerpoint presentation while she spoke. You could type in questions and Mary was nice enough to answer all questions and send them in an e-mail (so webinar time wasn't wasted). Very easy!Megan K.

I have been lucky to get some great illustrators. But as Karen said in her writing course blurb above, you don't have to be able to illustrate to write for children. Send your story to a publisher :)<br /><br />And Megan, I've never taken a webinar.

It's called "How to Think Sideways" by Holly Lisle. I'm about to take her "How to Revise Your Novel" soon. You can take the 6 0r 12 month course. I took the 6 month version where you get a lesson a week and you have an online classroom and discussion boards. The graduates and Holly are there to answer questions and help you. HtTS course focuses mainly on how to develope your ideas and strutrue your book. HtRYN will cover everything else and then some. The first 6 weeks of HTTS is kinda slow but for a beginner it works well. The thing that sold me was I paid monthly and if I quit before that month was over I got my money back for the lessons not recieved. I would reccomend it. I have a link in my sidebar on my blog or you can just look her up.L.A.
