| Title: ABCs of Writing for Children |
| Sub-title: 114 Children's Authors & Illustrators Talk About the Art, the Business, the Craft & the Life of Writing Children's Literature |
| By (author): Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff |
| ISBN10-13: 1884956289 : 9781884956287 |
| Have you ever dreamed of writing a best-selling children's book? Ever fantasise about what it's like to live the life of a published children's author? Although writing and illustrating books for children is not as easy as it looks, new authors and illustrators are being discovered -- and published -- all the time. Even if you are not planning a career in this field, learning how authors and illustrators work can lend new insights and appreciation to their art. The same ideas and inspirations that help authors and illustrators of children's books may encourage students, teachers, librarians and other creative artists in their literary efforts. With this book you will learn many 'do's and don'ts' for creating children's books. You will see that what works for one author may not work for the next. No matter what your aspirations are, whether you want to enrich your reading, teach others to read and write more deeply, or nurture your own creative process, learning what works for others may work for you. Including Chris Crutcher, Karen Cushman, Sid Fleischman, Richard Peck, R L Stine, Rosemary Wells, and Jane Yolen. |

| Title: Author's Guide to Building an Online Platform |
| Sub-title: Leveraging the Internet to Sell More Books |
| By (author): Stephanie Chandler |
| ISBN10-13: 1884956823 : 9781884956829 |
| The buzz word in publishing houses and at writer's conferences these days is platform. As in, What is the author' s platform? With more than 175,000 new titles published each year, publishers want to sign authors who are capable of helping to sell their book. The platform may be that the author is a widely syndicated columnist, is the internationally acclaimed expert in his field, or is a highly sought-after motivational speaker. Or perhaps the author is a New York City television news anchor. These types of platforms make a publisher's mouth water. But what about authors who are not widely known or acclaimed? How does the ordinary guy build a credible platform? The answer: the Internet. Today you can build an international platform right from your kitchen table even if your kitchen table is in Manhattan . . . Kansas. |

| Title: Breakfasts with Archangel Shecky |
| Sub-title: And His Infallible, Irrefutable, Unassailable, One-Size-Fits-All Secrets of Success |
| By (author): Gene Perret |
| ISBN10-13: 1884956920 : 9781884956928 |
| Breakfasts with Archangel Shecky, by three-time Emmy Award-winner Gene Perret, is a humorous story of a guardian angel who can not only turn water into wine (well, actually coffee into Merlot -- not a great Merlot, but passable), but can also turn a struggling Philadelphia comedian wannabe into an entertainer of star quality. Is Shecky really an angelic visitor from the other side? Or is he just a blowhard deadbeat who's trying to con a few free drinks and a meal or two from a kid who wants desperately to make it in the comedy profession? Well, that's part of the mystery that makes this tale captivating. Whatever the answer, the reader will find that applying Shecky's divine advice will assure him a place in Heaven -- well, if not actually in Heaven, a place on the ladder of success which can feel like Heaven. |
