I have now had seven books published, with more in the pipeline. Read lots of recent children's books... ... especially those published in New Zealand.

Talk to the children's librarians in big public libraries, visit specialist children's bookshops, ask children about their favourite books. Read the shortlisted titles and the winners of the latest annual New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults ; and also the annual children's book awards presented by the Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa.

   Extractions: Home Book Writing For Children Techniques and ideas on how to write a book search GO First Name: Surname: Email Thinking Back To Your Childhood For many novice writers, the desire to write for children springs from their enjoyment in making up stories for their own offspring. Despite the influence of television and computers, bedtime in a comfortingly large number of families is still synonymous with storytime. Parents still enjoy reading to their children, as they were read to when they were small and will jump at the chance to dig out their old favourites and introduce them to a brand new audience. Sometimes, however, the stories need a little alteration. Perhaps the vocabulary is too difficult or the story rather frightening. We may feel a few changes are in order and before long, we are making up our own stories, replacing the leading characters with ourselves and our children. Both child and parent gain a great deal from this exercise. The children enjoy being part of a nightly adventure and parents have fun letting their imagination run riot.

August 2007 Writing in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal, Mary-Liz Shaw does a great job of summing up the challenges of writing children’s books “The misperception that it is easy to write means children's literature attracts a larger proportion of wannabe scribes - people with a minimum of skills who think they can knock out a kids' book by dinner.” She quotes John Warren Stewig, director of the Center for Children’s Literature at Carthage College. He says, "Most people have a warm and fuzzy and kind of inaccurate idea of what children's literature is." We may remember the kids’ books we read, but, the article points out, “Among the markets for middle-grade and young-adult readers, both of which have grown in the wake of the Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket publishing phenomena, editors and readers demand a standard of literary sophistication far above that of 20 years ago.” But if just about every actress and singer is putting out kids’ books these days, how hard can it be? The article confirms what we’ve known all along: “With a few exceptions, they read like exactly what they are: cash cows knocked out quickly and pushed on an unsuspecting market, says Mary Lee Donovan, executive editor at Candlewick Press, an independent children's publishing house.”

17. Writing For Children
    A dozen pitfalls. 1. My grandchildren loved it. So why won’t they publish it? Children will listen with rapt attention to whatever is read.

    Extractions: Gregory Norris 1. My grandchildren loved it. So why won’t they publish it? Children will listen with rapt attention to whatever is read. They particularly enjoy a loved one making them the centre of the world. 2. I’ve written a story about Samuel Squirrel. He’s cuddly and fun. Talking animals are what drives publishers crazy. They are swamped by countless Samuel Squirrels each day. Instead, create proper animal characters. A rabbit or squirrel isn’t cuddly, but they can be cunning, heroic or vicious. Think about the characters who emerge in Charlotte’s Web. 3. I’ve written a story where the villain is a witch who scares children. Witches are a timeless classic after all. “Witches” used to be completely taboo for publishers. These days the Harry Potter witches are accepted. But still steer clear of the traditional “witch” who lives in a spooky house, is ugly and automatically evil. 4. I’ve illustrated the story myself. How do I get it published?

She vowed to make things better. One of the things Joanne really liked to do was make up stories. One day, while sitting on a train, she had an idea for a really good story, and decided to write it down. It took quite a long time, but when she'd finished, she took it to the big city to show to some important men in smart blue suits. And so the story became a book, and lo and behold, people liked it very much. For every one they bought Joanne got her shiny coin. And they bought a lot!
