Product Description
Product Description
The Writer's Guide to Crafting Stories for Children offers detailed information and an indepth examination of storytelling and story structure. Books on writing for children sell exceedingly well, so it's surprising that no other book focuses on this important aspect of the craft. Using examples from classic and contemporary sources, Nancy Lamb explores all the key elements of children's storytelling, from point of view to structure to plotting and pacing. Taking a hands-on approach, Lamb uses worksheets, exercises, and checklists to show writers how to capture and keep a young reader's attention, whether the topic is fact or fiction.

Nancy Lamb has published more than 40 books for children and adults, including the award-winning One April Morning: Children Remember the Oklahoma City Bombing. She is an editor as well as a writer and a faculty member of the Big Sur Writer's Workshop. Lamb lives in Venice, California.
