Learn How to Write Children's Books and Sell Them.


All of us have special stories inside of us that are just begging to be told. Children love stories. They live in a world controlled by adults and don’t have a whole lot of say so. The best we as adults can do for all children is to give them quality stories, truth or fiction. This is the best reason to join the Children’s Writer’s Coaching Club.

OR - do you want to learn ways to make more of the writing and illustrating career you already have?

Children's Writing Links to Boost Your Craft


Please enjoy the informative and rich children's writing links below.

Do you want to write a picture book? Don’t be fooled by the small amount of words (approximately 200) and pages (32). Successful picture book writing is far more difficult than it looks. Read this enlightening article.

Writing Picture Books

Sometimes it is difficult to know what one publisher means by picture book or early reader. Go to Understanding Children’s Writing Genres to view a glossary of children’s publishing genres by Laura Backes, publisher of Children’s Book Insider

The Query Letter and How to Write One, by Diane Thomas

Aaron Shepard exposes dangerous myths and terrible truths about writing and publishing in his article here:

Dangerous Myths and Terrible Truths

I would like to recommend this excellent article by Terry Whalin, writer, editor and literary agent. Read Some Basics on Magazine Writing. Within the article there are also a few links to some excellent books on writing magazine articles. Check them out. This is a great article for those of us who are participating in the LKFall Article writing challenge.

I came across this great quote.

“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that, just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him out to the public.”
—Winston Churchill
