The W&A Guide to Writing for Children and YA provides informed, practical advice from a successful and experienced writer of children-s books across all ages. Its coverage includes picture books through middle grade and young adult; fiction and non-fiction; books for reluctant readers and books for the education market. It is one author-s lifetime of experience distilled into an engaging guide on how to manage, kickstart or begin your writing career. This is a heavily revised and expanded edition of Linda-s Writing for Children (2008). Much has happened in both Linda-s writing life and in the world of children-s books since then. Staying true to the essence of the original, the new edition includes more advice and experience to reflect changes in digital publishing, self-publishing, and the explosion of YA and children-s writing more broadly.
