I just hope that by then, someone will write something interesting and exciting. Remember that children are people too. Make their stories interesting and active! Okay, so you've decided you want to write for children. Children's books are so much smaller than adults books, and they have less words, and the words they do have are small and simple. It should be a snap to write children's books. Guess again! There is no such thing as easy writing. All varieties of writing have their own requirements. There are many different types of children's books and the requirements for them vary according to the age of the children who are the intended audience. Word counts for children's books vary greatly. Make sure you obtain guidelines from a selection of children's publishers, or you may end up with a trunk filled with stories and no place to sell them. The secret to writing successful children's stories is that you have to think like a kid. Remember that kids like things that are silly, disgusting, and embarrassing to someone else.

http://yourpage.blazenet.net/rsmusic/song_writing_children.html

Extractions: This web site has song-writing help for children who are beginners in creating their own songs. It is intended to be used by a student or to be used by a parent or teacher to help a child create a song or composition. Some students may be able to read music and perform beyond a beginning level but have not developed a thorough understanding of the music they play. These suggestions are intended to help students develop the missing musical skills that will allow them to move ahead musically as well as to create their own music. Question-Answer Phrase Suggestions for students who have acquired more advanced skills are in Music Composition, Help for Students with Good Basic Skills. The age of children who have reached this level of understanding would vary according to their previous musical experiences. This page does not teach skills but offers reminders of musical devices the student already understands that can be used to create an effective composition. You will be able to tell whether the child is ready for Music Composition, Help for Students with Good Basic Skills by whether the child understands what a question-answer phrase is and can echo back a short pattern; by whether the child can create his own simple question-answer phrase; and by whether the child understands the terms used in this page.
FamilyFun: Writing For Children
writing for children Tips for hopeful children's book authors by HeatherHarvey, It's Bedtime And you have to read that book again.
http://familyfun.go.com/yourtime/money/feature/indy118books/indy118books.html

Extractions: It's Bedtime And you have to read that book again. You argue, plead, practically beg: "But sweetie, we've read this book a thousand times! Can't we read a different story tonight?" Your little one looks at you with hurt in her eyes. "But Mommy," she whispers, "this is my favorite book ever." So for the 1,001st time you read the book mumbling to yourself, "I could write a better story than this." Writing for children is no easier than writing for adults, but it does provide unique challenges and requires a special set of skills. As a children's author, you must tailor your writing to fit the age and experience levels of your young readers, while at the same time respecting their intelligence. And, of course, you've got to tell a good story.

Last Updated: 06-i-2003 Ted Hughes was a prolific writer for children. Throughout his career he has published more than twenty books for children. Quite a few of them have become real classics and his most well-known children's book, The Iron Man , has been adapted into an animated movie. But writing Poetry in the Making ). Hughes was also involved in a project called Farms for City Children , set up by Clare and Michael Morpurgo, and he was very much in favour of creating a Children's Laureateship, an he had also developed with Michael Morpurgo, which was put into practice after Hughes's death in 1998. As a consequence of such thought, Hughes's writing for children grew from a light and entertaining mode into embracing very complex constellations. He does not shy away from tackling issues of life and death, or loss, approaches issues arrising from human damage to our natural sourroundings as well as from the neglection of one's inner life without cutifying his texts. As such, many of his stories and poems have been embraced by children and adults all over the world.

http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Culture/WFNS/w4c.html

Extractions: WFNS Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia If you are interested in writing for children, the first thing to do is read lots of children's books, and not just what you read as a child, but contemporary books hot off the presses, too. Become familiar with which publishing houses are producing what genres, so that when you send off a manuscript, you can be sure that you've given it to somebody with experience and interest in the type of work you do. No. Publishers like to choose an illustrator themselves and they also don't like to reject a good manuscript because they don't like the illustrations, or vice versa. Send your manuscript, and if it is accepted, the editor will choose an illustrator whose style she thinks will suit your work. No matter what type of manuscript you're submitting, always make sure it is clear, error-free, double-spaced, and on white paper. Leave a one and a half inch margin on the left and one inch margin on the right. The top and bottom margins should be one and a half inches. Use 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Never send your only copy. Computer printouts are okay as long as they are separated into individual pages, on good quality paper, with dark, letter quality print (either laser or high-quality inkjet). Secure your manuscript with a paperclip, not a staple, and number the pages. Always remember to include a self-addressed stamped envelope, or sufficient postage to return your work.

The Writing Parent - The Business Of Writing For Children Book Review
The Business of writing for children by Aaron Shepard. As a writer, I like todabble in many different areas, and writing for children is no exception.
http://thewritingparent.com/shepardreview.shtml

Extractions: to Us! Reviewed by Angela Giles Klocke As a writer, I like to dabble in many different areas, and writing for children is no exception. Thus far, I haven't had much luck. In fact, other than a few short stories I wrote and sold to my old newspaper, I've had no luck. Simply put, I was missing some very important pieces of knowledge, but not anymore. I received The Business of Writing for Children directly from the author, Aaron Shepard. It was one of those non-requested but wonderful surprises that arrive and make your day. But it did more than make my day. It helped me see the error of my ways. The Business of Writing for Children is an easy-to-read and understand soft cover book, billing itself as "An Award-Winning Author's Tips on How to Write, Sell, and Promote Your Children's Books," and it delivers just that. At only 115 pages, Shepard crams the book full of expert advice on everything from writing the perfect children's story to getting it sold, and then promoting it for better sales. He includes many samples on formatting your children's manuscript, putting it into script format, how to create your own book flyer, and more. But my favorite section of the book would have to be Part 1 - The Basics. Part 1 is an important primer to get you going on to the rest. This is a book that belongs in the hands of all who wish to write for children, and even for those who already do so. We can never learn too much, and
