Synopsis

This new edition combines Pamela Cleaver's bestselling Writing a Children's Book with her Ideas for Children's Writers.

There are: * Lists of attributes to help you create interesting and believable characters * Lists of plots and themes * Genres - what's hot and what's not * Locations and how much description to use * List of do's and don'ts regarding submitting manuscripts * Symbols for correcting your proofs * Tips on how to publicise your book.
