REVIEW: Writing pictures can be a little tricky and Ann Whitford Paul's book, Writing Picture Books (Revised and Expanded Edition) really helps you to not only structure your story but to identify your audience as well . This is important because it can directly impact how you write your story - especially in regards to the reading level. The book is organized into six parts. Parts one and two help you to identify your audience before you even start writing , and some early story decisions, such as your outline and characters. Parts three and four focus on the structure of your story and how your story will be written , including word counts and rhyming. Parts five and six talk about wrapping it all together, making a mock-up book, and what to do after your done, such as sharing and publishing.
What I love about this book is that it is full of information that will help you to write, polish, and submit your manuscript for publication. There is a good section on the publishing business, self-publishing, and even what to do when a publisher makes an offer. I also liked how the author helps you to examine whether self-publishing makes more sense for you. This is a great resource for beginners or struggling authors looking for a game changer in publishing more picture books! If you want to write picture books, then you must read this book!
