A guide from bestselling author Alice Kuipers on how to write for children and young adults--from igniting an initial idea to creating a finished draft
In Spark, acclaimed children's and YA author Alice Kuipers shares her rules for writing for readers both young and young at heart, all while discussing the importance of travelling through passion, purpose, joy, and fear in your writing. In each chapter, Kuipers explores key aspects of writing for young readers--from voice and character to setting and plot--and provides examples and exercises to help you develop your story. Drawing on her experience as an author and writing coach, Kuipers shares crucial tips, tricks, and techniques that make all the difference for writers, along with some highs and lows of her own writing journey, and shows you how to become the writer you've always wanted to be. Spark is open, honest, and practical--a must-read for aspiring authors and literature fans alike.Languages:EnglishPublisher:University of Regina PressISBN-13:9781779400222ISBN-10:1779400225UPC:9781779400222Book Category:Language Arts & DisciplinesBook Subcategory:WritingBook Topic:Children's & Young Adult, Fiction WritingSize:8.40 x 5.00 x 0.80 inchesWeight:0.71Product ID:SCGYQGTTT4
