Writing for Children: How to Become a Published Children's Author - Softcover

Who else wants to write for children? New authors often mistakenly think that writing for children is easy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Children are discerning readers and will not accept re-cycled stories from the 1950's and 60's. They want exciting stories of heroes and heroines with whom they can identify and share adventures. Writing for this market is a minefield unless you have insider information. That is why this book is so important and why it will become a classic in creative writing circles.
