The Art of Writing for Children — 2 Comments

  1. My name is Tony Gapper and I live in Ballinrobe, Co Mayo, Ireland. I have recently finished a children’s manuscript, entitled: Percy Panda. My target audience is 7-10 year olds, with a word count of circa 11,000.
    I just completed an M.A. (Writing) at NUI, Galway in August 2015, having already published 50 poems and flash fiction.
    I am currently looking at both traditional and self-publishing routes. My friends and family are very impressed with the book; and although my wife and I have edited it many times over, as yet, it has not been professionally edited and marketed in readiness for publication.
    I am on Facebook, Twitter and have my own website – although it has not got a domain name or web host yet.
    Maybe I could email you a taster of my writing.
    Any information/advice gladly welcomed.

    Much appreciated
    Tony Gapper

  2. It sounds like you’ve got a great start, Tony. A publisher will professionally edit your book if you decide to go with a traditional publisher. If you self publish, then paying to have your book professionally edited would be wise! I contracted with an editor on eLance and know that Fiverr has editors-for-hire. Good luck with your book! 😀
