46. Writing For Children
    Writing for Children . Make 'Em Laugh Using Humor by Laura Backes Children's Book Insider 1744 was a good year for children's literature.  
    http://awriters.tripod.com/cbi.htm
    
    Extractions: by Laura Backes [Children's Book Insider] 1744 was a good year for children's literature. John Newbery produced "A Little Pretty Pocket-Book," the first book written exclusively for children. It was also about this time that Mother Goose arrived on the scene with her now famous nursery rhymes. But these first examples of writing for children were more didactic than entertaining. They were based on adults' assumptions of what childhood should be like, and were meant educate or impart a moral lesson. Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865, is often cited as the first example of nonsense in a children's book (though it contains plenty of morals), and Mark Twain's subtly humorous take on the nature of mankind caused his books to be banned in schools for many years. Fortunately, editors, parents and teachers have come to realize the importance of humor in children's literature (thanks largely to Dr. Seuss), and children's books in the last 45 years have reflected this change. Childhood is now seen as a stage of development in its own right, not just a training ground for adulthood. Books can make children dream, think, and laugh without having to teach them a lesson on every page. Child development experts generally break humor into four categories: physical humor; humor of situation; humor involving play of language; humor of character. The order of this grouping suggests that the first two categories are less sophisticated than the last two. But all four can be used in children's books for all ages. The most successful children's books lead the reader through the steps of the joke. It's the punch line that's important; the more subtle and sophisticated the joke, the older the reader.

    Extractions: Home Writing For Children How to Write a Children's Cookbook Many adults with a passion for cooking have fond memories of watching a parent put meals together. Aspiring young chefs take an even bigger role in menu planning and prep if both parents work outside the home or family schedules preclude everyone eating at the same time. Writing a children's cookbook is a fun way to share simple... How to Write a Children's Novel Children's writing is a specific niche that requires a great understanding of voice, character and readership. According to Writing-World's interview with the editor of a popular children's magazine, "Highlights for Children," stellar children's stories have "a fresh voice, an engaging plot, and memorable characters." Keeping these... How to Write a Children's Autobiography You don't have to be living on this Earth for 50 years to have a story worth telling, which is exactly the reason teachers love to assign autobiography writing as part of their English curricula starting with the third grade. As a bonus, writing an autobiography helps a child develop skills that have nothing to do with writing. This...

    Extractions: Workshop Syllabus Writing for Children isn't a childish endeavor. It takes knowledge of children and their hopes and dreams and fears. It also takes preparation, skill, and an understanding of the modern market. Writers for children have a desire to challenge, encourage, inspire, teach (without it being too obvious) and entertain their young readers. Whether writing for children's magazines or books, for those who are read to or those who read to themselves, there is a great deal of hard work and excitement in this market. Week 1 Writing for Children's Magazines Writing children’s short stories requires many of the same elements of writing novels; strong plot, realistic characters, believable dialogue, tension, and more. Yet you only have a few hundred words to accomplish this. Magazines offer many opportunities: non-fiction, puzzles, rebus, crafts, and more. Understanding children’s magazines is important for writing for them; their needs, wants, and levels. Week 2 Writing the Picture Book Is it a picture book or short story? Picture books have definite differences. Do you need to send in illustrations? How do you create a dummy and do you send it to publishers? What are editors looking for in picture books now? What about rhyming and alphabet books? The picture book market is getting tighter, yet many new children’s authors decide to start their career by writing the visual, short text books.

This makes us all potential writers of children's books. I think of children's books as not so much for children, but as the filling that goes between the child world and the adult world. One way or another, all children's books have to negotiate that space, whether it's thinking about how the text of a picture book will sound when read aloud, or how the child views him or herself in a world run by adults. And before it reaches the hand, eye or ear of a child there are many adults to deal with: editors, illustrators, publicists, marketing people, the buying adults. And of course, more than likely, you're an adult reading this, so the moment you think about writing something for children, you'll be handling something or other from your own childhood. This may be something you read, experiences of being read to, pleasurable or painful experiences from when you were young.

Parents are able to hold the attention of their children by the stories they invent. Authors sometimes take the view that this ability is, in itself, sufficient. They forget that the attention of such a private audience is already assured! A different technique is necessary with an audience who can just put down a boring book or story, and instead watch television or play on a computer. This course has been prepared to meet that challenge. You will learn how to put together an exciting, original plot, to create believable characters and to inject just the right amount of mystery, suspense, fun and reassurance for the age group at which you are aiming. If you want to write a complete book you can do so under the instruction of your tutor - the lesson basics are the same, but the exercises are different.
