Hello! I am a newbie, and this is my first post. I would like to find a writing course to help me with writing a chapter book. Has anyone taken a great course that you can recommend? Thank you.

Julie. I've taken a couple of writing courses from Institute of Children's literature and grew so much--the first was a magazine course, the second a book course. I also taught the magazine course for a few years. They're under different management now but their course materials are excellent. See: https://www.instituteforwriters.com/about/our-story/institute-of-childrens-literature/

Anastasia Suen also offered courses but I'm not seeing them on her website: https://asuen.com/  Try contacting her.

Best wishes on this writing journey.

Institute of children's literature is excellent, as Vijaya have said.

Have you tried Jordan Hartt's online course?  Based in Port Townsend as he usually coordinates the Summer Writers' Conference.
