Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-The appeal of this title is that it not only gives step-by-step directions to help illustrate and produce a book, but also discusses the fiction and nonfiction writing processes. The "mountain climber's method of planning and writing a good story" is presented, focusing on character, setting, problem, and solution. The "sailor's way of writing a good nonfiction story" emphasizes using personal experiences as starting points for how-to stories, interviews, biographies, and factual reports. Editing, illustrating, binding, and promoting are also introduced. The full-color illustrations reiterate points made in the text and complement it well, showing in a graphic and fun manner the how-tos of becoming an author. Would-be writers couldn't be anything but successful if they use this concise manual.

The Young Author's Do-It-Yourself Book,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Young Authors Do It Yourself Book (Paperback)
This is a great book. A good how-to story for the inexperienced novelist. Brightly lit pictures help the reader enjoy the book as well as learn from it. This review is written by a nine year old future author.

Authors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Young Author'S Do It Yourself (Library Binding)
This book was not that helpful. It was hard to understand and the projects were too hard to do for kids under 10.
