Writing Successful Childrens Books
There’s a little bit of the child in all of us. Young writers are much closer to childhood and often can sagely and easily zero in on ideas that capture children’s attention and excitement. Experienced, older writers may have a better command of the language, more formal education and an awareness of the psychological approaches that children find appealing. However, this isn’t necessarily a huge advantage over a young writer. Children’s books which are successful are those that spark a child’s imagination, make them laugh and contain ideas, characters and illustrations that excite them. While there are many talented, older writers now publishing children’s books, I suspect that there are many young, aspiring writers with a classic children’s book lurking in their minds.
