A must have book for all budding children's writers - By: Molly, 07 Oct 2007 
I recently purchased this book after deciding I wanted to have a go at writing for children (I have dabbledin writingin writing informally before)
After buying this book I was pleasantly surprised, as it is compelling & easy to read.
It is crammed full of vital information for budding children's writers (whether for leisure or for money), but is not over detailed.
It has really inspired me to have a go, so I am off to start developing an idea now!
I would highly recommend purchasing this as a readable reference book for your bookshelf.
Brilliantly informative for the prospective author. - By: family.rowley@lineone.net, 21 Jan 2001 Having recently purchased this book, before using amazon for the first time, from my local bookstore I was very interestedin using it to learn more about writing & publishing books for children.
The book contains invaluable advice on the many stages which prospective authors must pass through to find their worksin print or on bookshelves. The book answered many of my questions regarding the different age ranges which you can write for, as well as issues regarding illustrations, plotting, characterisation, subject matter & marketing.
I found the book to be an invaluable reference tool & one to which I constantly referred.
I hope to begin using the knowledge gained from this bookin the near future & would recommend that anone wanting to write, either for pleasurein their spare time, or as something more than a hobby, to buy the book.
