The Art Of Writing For Children: Skills And Techniques Of The Craft Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Writing for children takes more than desire, or memory, or personal experience, or knowing what children like. It is both an art and a craft. What is art cannot easily be learned, but what can be taught are the skills and techniques, the crafting, that editors look for. That is what this book does

This is a broad-based book with advice for writers who have narrowed their interest to, as the title suggests: writing for children. While a good introductory to this medium, it is not detailed in one way or another; so, if you find you have a particular genre or type of childrens book you would like to develop--or have already started--consider this book an accessory, not an integral addition to your library. It will only gloss over the different topics with one or two examples...and I didn't aggree with several of the author's opinions. It's too expensive for the half-hour read that it is, anyway.
