Robyn Opie has been writing for children for eight years and her books are sold around the world, with many translated into foreign languages. Let Robyn Opie help make your dream come true.
So you want to write a great children's book?
Start on the right footing
Do you think writing children's books is easy?"If you do then frankly, you're misinformed," says Robyn Opie, author of 62 children's books.
Many aspiring children's book authors are unaware that children's books are the most over submitted MSS in the publishing industry and less than a quarter of one percent of all submissions are ever published.
Why is this?
Robyn has this to say: "Simply because almost everyone assumes that writing children's books is so easy, they don't listen to good advice!"
And the secret is blindingly obvious:
"In order to get your children's book published, you MUST give children's publishers EXACTLY what they want."
How can this be done? Read on to find out how Robyn Opie's How to Write a GREAT Children's Book can help you achieve your ambition.

More tips from Robyn Opie
"Like many people first starting out, I believed that you simply sat down and wrote a children's book.I didn't know that there were different types of children's books for different age groups. I didn't know that there were restrictions within these categories.
I didn't know what made a good children's book.
I didn't know what to do to improve my chances of being published.
I do now. I have more than 70 published titles!

In my book, I have passed on many secrets that will help you produce a children's book in days.
