Busting the Myths About Writing for Children with Penny Reeve
What did you think of this episode?
Have you ever thought about writing a children’s book or wondered what it takes to write for younger readers?
Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mts of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I’m so glad you’re listening in. During this episode, you’ll learn Busting the Myths about Writing for Children.
My industry expert is…Penny Reeve.
Penny is a writer, children’s literature scholar, and speaker. She’s also the award-winning Australian author of more than 25 books for children. Writing as Penny Reeve, Penny Jaye, and Ella Shine, she writes picture books, junior fiction, children’s Bible studies, and young adult fiction. She is an experienced writing teacher and speaker with a particular interest in equipping Christian children’s writers.
Busting the Myths About Writing for Children
· Myth #1 – Writing for children is easy.
· Myth #2 – Writing for children isn’t real writing.
· Myth #3 – Writing for children isn’t as important as writing for adults.
