This and That I have learned about writing for kids!

5 Things You Should Know About Writing Children’s Books by Carolyn Wolfe

  • It takes a bit of discipline, lots of patience with yourself and let your imagination play.

  • Don’t be afraid to succeed, but don’t let it all be about success.

  • Get a good team to help you, illustrators and publishers can be your very best friends.

  • Savor your drafts, they are the beginning of a wonderful adventure- then be critical of them.

  • Do not be afraid to make the changes needed to present a clearer picture of what you want your characters to say.

  • Get involved, become the main character and let them lead you into the story, wonder what’s next, enter into the spirit of the book and you will never get tired of writing it!
