Reviews
"If you are a writer of illustrator of children's books, or want to be,
Koehler-Pentacoff's book is really a must read. This is no didactic
guide from a world weary author, but instead, is a series of questions
and answers by experienced and well known writers in a range of
childrens' book genres about nearly every critical topic you can think
of."
—Magdalena
Ball, TheCompulsiveReader.com
"Reading The ABCs of
Writing for Children is like attending a great party at which all
the guests have something interesting and valuable to say."
—Marilyn Singer, author
of Neighborhood Animals and Good Day, Good Night
"Pentacoff provides a
most fun and readable book, packed with insights and inspiration about
the children’s book field from the people who know it best—the authors
and illustrators."
—Andrea
Brown, President, Andrea Brown Literary Agency, Inc.
"...a
thorough, complete, entertaining guide to writing for children—more
alpha to omega than ABCs. I wish there was such a volume for every
aspect of my life!"
—Karen Cushman, author of
Catherine, Called Birdy and The Midwife’s Apprentice
"If you’ve always wanted
to write for children, here’s your chance to learn the best kept
secrets, advice, tips and tales from authors such as Chris Crutcher,
Karen Cushman, Sid Fleischman, Richard Peck, R.L. Stine, Rosemary Wells,
Jane Yolen and more!"
—Marcia Preston, Publisher Byline Magazine
