correspondence courses for budding writers

My dear wife has had some ambition to write books for the very young for some time. She is able to produce appealing pictures, and also has written many things which have amused & entertained our young child.

Recently she saw an advert for a writer's correspondence course advertised on the front of "The Guardian" newspaper, and she sent off for a prospectus. Obviously I am worried about her getting burned, I don't recall reading much good about such things, but I also don't know much about them really.

Does anyone have any experience of such things, good or bad, that they can relate?

Thx.

I particularly disliked getting burned.

I misread the opening statements as "My dead wife."

My wife uses one, loves it, and got fantastic feedback. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name.

Don't really know your ejukayshin system but local writing seminars can be rewarding. Don'y know that I'd trust the correspondence course.
