WRITER’S FORUM: EXPLORING A NEW GENRE
WRITER’S FORUM
EXPLORING A NEW GENRE
For those who are familiar with my work, read some of my stories, this next series of posts will appear bewildering. For those not familiar with my work and stumbled upon this blog, I am principally a writer of horror and science fiction.
The direction of the next series of posts, Writer’s Form, will involve formatting children’s picture books.
Your eyes have not deceived you. I want to produce a picture book.
Sometime ago, quite to my surprise, I wrote a long poem entitled Dragon Eggs and I feel the poem can be broken up into pages for a children’s picture book. And as a requirement for most children’s books, it provides a lesson, and I am also hoping that the title with the word ‘Dragon’ in it will grab a young one’s interest.
So, for the next few posts you will journey, with me, in what is involved in producing a picture book.
