Some people think that writing children’s books is an easy option. It isn’t. Here are some simple rules and advice. Have a very clear idea of the age group you’re writing for. Vocabulary, content and length has to be spot on. Avoid sexism, rascism and anything that is going to immiediately stand out as old fashioned. Publishers or agents will spot flaws a mile off. If you’re aiming at young people rather than children, it helps to be aware of the current curriculum and set books for young people. Read, read, read - research your market. Look at what currently sells and excites young readers. But don’t be derivative- the world doesn’t need any more Harry Potter imitations. Estimate your length carefully. Picture story books consist of 16 or 24 pages, 4 of which are end-papers. If you are writing for younger children, books must always be illustrated. Unless you’re a wonderful artist

Home Creative Writing For Children Writing For Children One of the areas of writing which people find most appealing and most want to get involved with is writing for children. Many people also assume that it's easy, though anyone who's tried it can tell you that's not true! Writing children's books takes a very specific type of skill and even those writers who make a success of it generally find that they can write well only for specific age groups. It's a skill that requires real familiarity with children, an understanding of child psychology and, perhaps most importantly, a clear memory of what it felt like to be that age. Writing for New Readers Writing for very young children can be tricky because they learn to read at quite different stages of development, but one thing they all do first is enjoy being read to. First books should be designed to be read along with an adult. They should have just a few words to a page and should stick to topics which will be familiar. As a rule, children most enjoy reading about characters they can identify with, whether they're other kids or anthropomorphic animals. Use simple words and avoid contractions like can't or didn't. Keep your story short with a positive ending. Children's books aimed at new readers tend to rely very heavily on illustrations. It's great if you can provide your own, either personally or by collaborating with an artist of your acquaintance, but if you can't you should provide brief, clear instructions about what should appear on each picture page.
