Product Description
Writing for children - whether it's in the form of picture books, beginning readers, chapters books and novels, or nonfiction - requires a unique skill set: the ability to speak to children on their level. "You Can Write Children's Books, 2nd Edition", provides readers with the instruction and exercises they need to shape their ideas, develop their writing, and sell their work! This revised edition keeps the book relevant and increases its value as a resource for writers. It provides readers with: updated information on changes in the publishing industry related to children's book writing; new techniques and exercises for writing children's books; new instruction for submitting work online; an updated look at publishing methods and opportunities; like traditional, online, print on demand; and, online promotional opportunities that didn't exist when the first edition of this book was released.

Good, solid advice from someone who knows how March 21, 2010
Gretchen Hirsch (Ohio)
Tracey Dils has written a comprehensive, yet accessible book for anyone who's interested in breaking into children's literature. Her examples are clear, to the point, and helpful, and her exercises are dynamite, opening readers up to new ways of thinking about writing for children. She explains the various types of children's books, which helps readers learn how to identify and classify just exactly what publishers mean when they talk about leveled readers, picture books, beginning readers, chapter books, young adult literature, and all the rest. The appendices and resources are excellent, as are her tips on manuscript preparation. I recommend this book without reservation.
