Description
Here in warmly written prose, the author distils her four decades at the top of the children's writing pyramid for the benefit of anyone engaging in writing for young people. Topics covered in the short chapters - each illustrated by Fraser Williamson - are developing a plot, dialogue, writers' discipline, humour, early reading, novels, picture books, plays, poetry, presentation and editing.
