(REAL NAME)

This review is from: How to Write and Sell Children's Picture Books (Hardcover)

This is a must have book for beginner writers who are serious about getting their work published. It has all the basic information you will need and will give you a great boost over others who do not do their homework before writing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic Information, September 12, 2011

Ohioan - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Write and Sell Children's Picture Books (Hardcover)

This book contains many basic do's and don'ts on how to write children's picture books. It gives good advice on staying within a child's reference point, for example, and on how and when to write poetry instead of prose in a picture book. For more detailed information on how to write picture books, see books such as "Crafting Stories," "Picture Writing," or "An Idiot's Guide to Publishing Children's Books."

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: How to Write and Sell Children's Picture Books (Hardcover)

I had already written my book so I was more interested in the Sell part of this book. I found it a great place to start. It gave me information that I didn't previously have or had even thought about.
