Writing and Publishing Books for Children in the 1990s: The Inside Story from the Editor's Desk,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From Library Journal As good as a semester's tutorial with a wise, amusing, and experienced editor, Litowinsky's book offers solid, sensible information succinctly yet conversationally conveyed. It touches on every aspect of the subject, from content, construction, and audience to style, submission, editing, and more. Further chapters cover legal, marketing, and other professional matters. The advice is detailed and practical, but the author's concern is with quality and not just profit. Specific citations or concrete examples illustrate every point: good writing is not only advised but practiced here. An eclectic and interesting reading list is included. Fiction and nonfiction writers, reviewers, and anyone interested in the children's book world today will find this a fascinating, brief, "inside" introduction. Epstein's book covers much of the same ground, on a more introductory level, as Litowinsky's. An opening chapter on the history of the genre (especially in the United States) and a final one on publishing specifics bracket six brief chapters on the mechanics of good writing. Although less comprehensive and detailed than Litowinsky's book, this treatment does include numerous and appropriate examples to illustrate its points, and (unannotated) lists of professional literature and organizations and children's magazines. Suggested writing exercises to develop skills in each of the technical areas described are an original touch. If Litowinsky's book offers a semester's tutorial, Epstein's is a fine beginner's workshop in the field. Patricia Dooley, Univ. of Washington Lib.
