  • Our Knowledge Base ­– The Director of the Academy, Dr. Mira Reisberg, brings a wealth of knowledge and teaching expertise from 27 years of prior experience in the industry as an independent editor, art director, book designer, literary agent, children’s literature professor, and an award winning illustrator and writer.  Her PhD in Education and Cultural Studies (with a focus on Children’s Literature) informs the Academy’s teaching practices.  We bring together a smorgasbord of information on the subject, along with some of the top minds in the field: editors, publishers, famous authors/illustrators and more - to work with you to achieve success!
  • Affordability – One single course is the equivalent of several conferences or university courses at a fraction of the cost
  • Time flexibility – Work at your own pace.  Courses are either self-paced or highly interactive 4-5 week offerings that include several additional months of access to the materials.  Plus, many offer pdf’s of the material that are yours to keep!  Sign on anytime.  Work anytime, from anywhere!  It’s that easy!
  • Intensive, no pressure course material – You’ll be getting so much more than you bargained for and, with our time flexibility on all courses, there’s no pressure!
  • Broad range of offerings – We offer both interactive and self-paced courses for writers and illustrators, novice to expert!
  • Payment plans – Many of our courses come in tiered packages and if you need a little help, we also offer payment plans! 
  • We are highly committed to diversity - We offer scholarships for those who identify as LGBTQ, having a disability, being a person of color, or being low income.  We also offer one of the most diverse course selections around!
  • High success rate – Many of Mira’s students have gone on to publish and win awards!  Check out our ever-growing list of success stories here!
  • Pedagogy of Pleasure – We use scaffolded learning, starting with basic information and building to more complex concepts.  We believe that making courses fun, accessible and aesthetic is the best way to learn and is part of our pedagogy of pleasure.​
