That’s the secret sauce! A solid understanding of craft and a process that works for you.

Writing a book for children or young adults – no matter how long or short – is a challenge. Sure, you could sit down and let the words flow. But the reality is – except for a lucky few – first drafts rarely happen that way. We know – and you know – there’s no “one way” to write a picture book or novel. That’s where Writing Kidlit 102 comes in. This book will help wrangle that story out of your heart and onto the page. On your terms. In your time. In a way that sets you up for success.
