“Writing for
children is a marathon, not a sprint."
"Great quote from the book that is oh so
true! The Children’s Writer’s Guide is written with every writer in mind.
It won’t matter if you are beginning your career or if you have some years
under your belt. Chapters will take you through the writing process and beyond.
Great information and ideas throughout.”

“Simon
Rose’s Children’s Writer Guide takes you on a step-by-step journey through the
exciting world of writing for children. From the opening, his message is clear
– write, write and write some more! For many of us the first step is the
hardest, and Simon provides us with simple examples of how to engage. He also
runs through some of the most basic excuses that often get in the way of our
dreams.
From there,
Rose walks us through the critical steps of developing an interesting
storyline, bringing our characters to life, and inviting our readers to feel
the challenges of our protagonist. While it’s up to us to breathe life into the
tale, Rose offers advice and a framework that makes it all so much easier. From
idea generation, to overcoming writers block, to the editing process, Rose
offers creative and easy to follow advice.
And finally,
none of this will matter if you don’t know how to get your material to market
after it is published. You will find advice on how to teach the public about
you and your work and how to develop your marketing strategy.
Overall, the
guide gives a realistic look into what is required to be a writer. It outlines
the important steps required to succeed and includes meaningful examples. This
is by far the best book I have picked up to help me kick start my writing!”
