Product Description

Many people want to write for children but are often unaware of the wide variety of markets to choose from or how to find the right publisher for their idea. Aimed at both established and aspiring writers, this book aims to offer advice on the whole publishing process from initial idea through to final publication and beyond. All the key areas of children's publishing are covered: picture books, fiction, poetry, plays, non fiction, educational books, books for reluctant readers. There will also be useful advice for the newly published on publicity, setting up a website, tax and accounting, and handling school/library author visits.

About the Author

Linda Strachan has written for many publishers including working directly with Australian and American educational publishers. She is the author of over 50 books including a successful series of trade picture books, books for reluctant readers, retelling of myths and legends, fiction and non fiction for young children and recently for interactive CD Rom (Pelican Interactive).

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspired!, 30 Oct 2009

By	A. Gardiner (Dorset, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was crammed with clear practical advice, yet was very enjoyable and easy to read. So much so that, having devoured the chapters which were specifically relevant to me, I ploughed happily through the ones which weren't. This sparked a flood of ideas for younger readers as I sat in a riverside cafe. The author regularly referred to other books as examples, which I found very helpful as a graphic way of emphasising a point. With about 50 published books to her name, I felt that the author's points would be valid. Information on word counts and page layouts for different age readers was particularly useful. A very valuable tool for any author about to enter this genre.
