Review
'The range and depth Pamela Cleaver brings to this book explains why it has become a classic in its field.' - Writing Magazine'Pamela Cleaver explains how this past experience can yield plot triggers, soon have you coming up with story ideas as well as finding and developing characters.' - Writing Magazine

Product Description
This invaluable resource book for anyone writing for children will help with many aspects of writing your story. There are: lists of attributes to help you create interesting believable characters, lists of plots and themes, genres - what's hot and what's not, locations and how much description to use, lists of do's and don'ts regarding submitting manuscripts, symbols for correcting your proofs, and tips on how to publicise your book. And, to save you time in researching, there is a section of lists of things you might want to know, ranging from dates of the kings and queens of England, through quarantine and incubation time for childhood illnesses, to emoticons and short forms for text messaging.
