 Written on March 20, 1998 Summary: Enormously Informative Recently I have read approximately five books on writing for children. I found Barbara Seulings book to be the best of the lot. She realistically portrays the difficulty in breaking into the children's market in the '90s, yet she encourages the reader and provides a wealth of helpful information to do just that. Barabara Seulings book is easily readable for a reference book and one that anyone interested in writing for children today should have in their personal library. Good job Ms. Seuling - Written on March 20, 1998 Summary: A difficult format made easy to understand. Picture Book format is spacific and definate. This book takes it one step at a time from the begining of an idea to the finished "dummy". You say you don't know what a dummy book is? A PB story outline? Need work on characters? Want an idea on the proper pacing? Setting, Dialogue? Language for kids? Structure, rhythm, mood, tone? This book answered all my questions and more. By the time I finished with it I felt confident enough to submit my work to an editor.. The author, multi-published, whos books I read to my children when they were young, was exceptionally generous with her secrets.The price was an inexpensive ticket to my future. I highly recommend for writers of all children's genre.sÜeWashington State  Written on October 21, 1997 Summary: A confusing book filled with conflicting advice It may not have been the author's explicit intent to discourage new authors form entering the field of children's literature but, it is certainly one of the likely effects that this book will have on its readers. Its hard to believe that this book which is filled with ambiguous and conflicting advice was written by a former editor. The author seems to be interested in showing off erudite sentence structure at the expense of clarity throughout the book. In addition her credibility is drawn into question has she frequently offers conflicting advice regarding format and lay out for submissions. Beyond problems of readability and consistency, the tone of the book is so discouraging that it seems to be the product of an embittered experienced professional out on a crusade to "fix" all of the errors hat she had to endure over the years. Also note that although the book was first published in 1984 and revised in 1991 all of the technical submission advice is geared towards a typewriter. This is to me further evidence of either the author's lack of attention to relevant information or, evidence of an antediluvian attitude. I recommend that you avoid this bitter and confusing advice manual. |
