(1 customer review)

$120.00

While there are aspects of editing that apply to all genres, children’s books are unique. If you want to edit children’s books, you need an understanding of the differences between editing for adults and editing for children. This class will cover an overview of children’s books, the reading levels, and what is required for each level. It will also address technical aspects of children’s books including characterization, point of view, dialogue, plot, pacing, vocabulary, and readability.

    I greatly appreciate the charts that organize the types of books, the age groups, and the number of words and pages. The most helpful information was the distinction between picture storybooks and basic picture books. I value Linda’s teaching. Her pleasant writing style and method of guiding students to learn more is effective.
