Secrets of writing a GREAT children's book

Are you an aspiring children's book author? With a dream to write a great book for children? If you've been trying hard, sending manuscript after manuscript to publishers and yet have not achieved  any breakthrough, then perhaps you are missing the tricks that will ensure you great success. Rather than give up, it  pays to hear what Robyn Opie - an author of more than 70 children's books and a blockbuster movie for release in 2009 - has to say about How to Write a GREAT Children's Book. 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.

Children's book secrets 

Robyn Opie's How to Write a GREAT Children's Book is aimed at helping you to turn your dream into a great publishing reality. Among other things, it teaches you how to get children hooked after the first two pages. A few other pointers:
*YOU NEED TO CREATE BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS
*YOU NEED TO CREATE REALISTIC DIALOGUE
*YOU NEED TO POLISH YOU WORK TO A PROFESSIONAL STANDARD

Do you have a dream to write a great children's book? Why not turn this dream into a publising reality today? Why not invest a little time reading the page written by Robyn Opie on How to Write a GREAT Children's Book?

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!

You, my friend, don't need to spend many years learning about writing children's books. I have done most of the work for you. And I'm happy to share my knowledge with you.

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

You, too, can soon be a children's author and live a great lifestyle...just like me."
