Product Description
Synopsis
Arguing that writing for children requires no less skill with words than for writing for anyone else, this book first sets out to explain the differing factors that distinguish the publishing and marketing of books for children. It goes on to explain ways of writing for different age groups and to different genres, using the experience of established children's writers and analyzing examples of their work to offer basic guidelines for the beginner.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good general introduction to writing for children, 31 May 2000
By A Customer
This is a good general introduction to the basics of writing children's books. It has practical information on dealing with editors and publishers and guidelines on the fairly strict layouts required for such books. If you're looking for creative inspiration and detailed advice on plot and character creation, this is not really the best place to find it, but it does give numerous pointers to authors and writers for further reading. A useful general introduction and reference book.
