Writing for children is not about writing little stories, it is
about writing big stories, shorter. Children's literature is an art
form in its own right, and this book is for everyone who wants not
just to write for children, but to write well for them. This short
guide to creative writing for children is based on the author's own
successful MA course. Andrew Melrose provides guidance on every
aspect of the process of writing for children. He stresses the
importance of 'writing for' the child and not 'writing to or at'
them. Literacy and learning depend on writing and reading and it is
therefore the responsibility of the writer to understand who they
are writing for. The book is divided into four sections which cover
all aspects of the writing process. This book goes far beyond the
'how to' format to help writers learn the finely balanced craft of
writing for children. It will be an indispensable handbook for
aspiring and practising children's authors.
