Anastasia's new book, "Picture Writing" will be published in January. It is the most comprehensive book about writing for children that I have ever read. If you only have money for one book on writing, this is the book I would recommend. Every aspect of writing for children is covered in the pages of the interesting text. Topics such as selecting the right children's book type and genre, using the five senses to create powerful descriptive writing, setting and dynamic characters. How to edit and revise and preparing your proposal. The text is meant to be used over a period of 18 weeks with specific assignments and journal writing activities. It is a very different approach to writing that encourages using both sides of the brain. It is a masterpiece of work. Please invest in a copy of this terrific book.
