WRITING JUVENILE STORIES AND NOVELS is a helpful analysis of all aspects of writing for young people, from short stories to teen-age novels. The author describes the techniques aspiring juvenile writers must acquire to produce salable short stories and book-length fiction, and uses her own successful novels for illustration. Her chapters cover such important subjects as getting story ideas; characterization; settings; plots; beginnings and endings; emotion and immediacy; first drafts -- and revisions. She also suggests how writers can discover the types of juvenile writing best suited to their abilities, experience, interests and background, and offers helpful advice on establishing good work habits, keeping note-books for works-in-progress and future writing, marketing manuscripts, the special taboos in writing for children today, and, most important, attitudes and outlooks that will contribute to a writer's success.
