Writing Kidlit 102

<p>Writing a book for children or young adults - no matter how long or short - is a challenge. Sure you could just sit down and let the words flow. But the reality is - except for a lucky few - first drafts rarely happen that way. Co-authors Coe and Malone know - and you know - there's no one way to write a picture book or novel. That's where <em>Writing Kidlit 102: Your First Draft</em> comes in. This book will help get that story out of your heart and onto the page. On your terms. In your time. In the way that works for you.</p><p>Coe and Malone also give you tools to combat the mental challenges that stalk the writing process. Think: Motivational activities to overcome fears tips to catch you up if you're behind and strategies to push you forward if you're blocked. Because who doesn't need a little help holding yourself accountable? Kicking writer's block to the curb? Calling out your procrastinating self? (Are you raising your hand?)</p><p>So if you're ready to call yourself a writer and banish the word aspiring you've come to the right place.</p>
