Synopsis

UPDATED WORKBOOK: A STEP-BY-STEP guide to writing marketable children's books, both fiction & nonfiction, from picture books to middle grade books. This workbook is not a typical writing guide. This workbook teaches how to craft your idea to Target the Market. Many writing guides tell you to research the market, but this workbook shows how to research the market step-by-step in detail, how to design a template for your book and create your best chance of selling, how to plot engaging fiction (plot points and outline guides), how to craft enticing nonfiction (how to structure; what to put in; what to leave out.) and how to establish editor contacts. START TODAY. We show you how. CRAFT YOUR IDEA INTO A MARKETABLE CHILDREN’S BOOK. Shirley Raye Redmond and Jennifer McKerley have been published by Random House, Simon & Schuster, Gale Cengage, Heinemann and other major houses, and some of their titles have won awards. They’ve based this course on techniques that work for them, and they’ve sold 38 children’s books.
