Dear Friend,
     The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market
out there.
     And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the ＄3 billion worth of children's books
bought each year……plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children
and teenagers.
     Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
     But am I good enough?
     I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and
I didn't know where to turn for help.
     Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude (潛能), and it turned out to
be the inspiration I needed.
     The promise that paid off
     The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
     You will complete at least one manuscript (手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish
our course.
     I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories.
And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
     Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
     Free test and brochure
     We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-
study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
     Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
     Sincerely
     Kristi Holl,
     Instructor Institute of Children's Literature

If you need extra employment support because of a disability, your local job center put you in touch with one of their Disability Employment Advisers(DEA). Disability Employment Advisers can give you help and support regardless of your situation. They can help you find work or gain new skills even if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have little or no working experience.

   Referral service

   Your DEA can offer you an employment assessment to identify what type of work or training suits you best and also offer you a work program designed to help disabled people, like the Job Introduction Scheme, WORKSTEP or Access to Work. The DEA can let you know about jobs that match your experience and skills and offer you more work information.

   Employment assessments

   An important employment assessment can help you identify your abilities. Your employment assessment will usually take place at your local Job centre. You will have an interview with your DEA, which is an opportunity for you to talk about your skills and abilities and any previous working experience you may have. As part of the assessment, you may be asked to carry out some practical tasks and written work. These tasks will be similar to common tasks involved in various types of work. The assessment may take half a day or longer, depending on your individual needs. The DEA will discuss the length of your assessment with you beforehand.

   After the assessment

   You and your DEA will talk about your assessment and agree on an action plan to help you achieve your job goals. Your action plan may include training or taking part in the “Work Preparation” program.
