RELEASE DAY BLITZ | 'Writing For Children and Young Adults' by Marion Crook

Hey guys, and happy Tuesday! Today I am very excited to be partaking in a release day blitz for Marion Crook's brand new book: Writing For Children and Young Adults. I don't normally feature non-fiction on my blog but since a lot of you guys are aspiring writers and YA fans, I thought this might be quite interesting for you to check out!

In this vibrant new edition of Writing for Children and Young Adults published on the 16th

 Crook explains some of the nuances and choices about the writing world online. Crook revisits the fundamentals of writing: establishing character, creating lively dialogue and developing plot with updated worksheets and examples. This edition shows the writer how to begin a story, plan plot, develop and hone the work for an agent or publisher, and how to make the crucial submission for a book that agents want to represent and publishers want to buy!


Writing for Children and Young Adults helps you create the manuscript that sells, and is a essential book for any aspiring and published writer who wants to write for young people.


Marion Crook has written many books for young adult and middle-grade readers. Here, she offers advice on writing, publishing, and marketing. Crook’s background in child development education as a nurse and her Ph.D. in education give her solid knowledge, but she maintains that a keen observation of people, places, and events can be the author’s most useful tool. An experienced teacher and writer, she gives her readers clear and practical tips, with humor and obvious understanding of what it’s like to write and publish.
