Welcome to Fox Tales!
A Course Platform for Children's Book Writers
Hi there - I'm Janet Fox, author and teacher. I've been writing for children for 25 years, and have 12 published books from picture books through YA novels.
Once upon a time I struggled with finding the help I needed to understand writing and publishing for children. I went to conferences and workshops, studied craft books, and even went back to school for an expensive MFA. Now that I've happily achieved success, I want to share what I've learned with you, as I have with my other students who've written their first books and seen them in print. If you're searching for a way to write and publish your children's book, look no further. I'm offering everything from free digital downloads to short informative downloads to medium-sized courses to "MFA-in-a-box" courses. I've outlined every step you need to achieve your dream of writing a book that readers will love. Welcome!
My Students Have Said...
“You found the ideal combination of craft instruction and encouragement. In particular, your practical experience, as applied to my project, was right on the money.”
D
“With Janet's guidance I learned the valuable inside/outside outline, provided wonderful guidance and training, and crafted a first draft”
Judy
“Janet is generous with her time, intellectual property, and expertise. She is warm and supportive. Her wide experience as an author has given her the background to work with authors of picture books through young adult novels.”
Rosemary
“Janet changed the way I feel about my writing, giving me a whole new level of confidence, enjoyment, and hope for my work in progress. ”
Susan
“Janet gave me structure when there was none. Janet helped me identify my audience when I didn't realize I even needed one. And every step of the way, Janet, with her wealth of knowledge, gave me tool after tool to help me treat every road block as a speed bump on my way to finishing my first draft. ”
