This volume emphasizes an aspect of children's picture books that has not yet been thoroughly investigated: structure.

Both concept books and picture storybooks employ very distinctive structures that, once mastered, can be applied to any picture book you wish to write.

When so many of the best picture books employ the same structures, it is important to analyze these structures, understand why they work, and learn how to incorporate them into your own writing. This volume helps you do all that.

You will see that no matter how carefully you labor over the tone, word choice, plot, character, setting, theme and style of your picture book, you must have a thorough grasp of its structure if you wish your book to succeed. Indeed, you will find that an expert command of structure is the key to writing a successful children's picture book.

NOTE: Amazon will ship this book immediately, even though it says 1-2 months or not available.

Many of us think of children's picture books as being written mostly with simple declarative sentences. What an eye-opener to learn that they are actually filled with delightful figures of speech.

I am not talking here about the common figures of speech we learn about in grade school: simile, onomatopoeia, alliteration, hyperbole and personification.

I am talking about more subtle and sophisticated figures of speech which we may not even recognize as figures at all (until they are pointed out to us), but their use gives stories a charm and freshness that stands up to repeated readings.

These figures have names which are eminently forgettable but the figures them-selves make the stories in which they appear eminently memorable.

In this volume, I point out many figures which appear in masterworks of children's picture storybooks, so that they may be appreciated and savored, and their patterns emulated in your own work.

Whereas Volume I of this series investigates the overall structure of children's picture storybooks at the macro level, this volume, Volume II, investigates the very building blocks of picture storybooks at the micro level: the word, the sentence, the scene and the story.

We look at the importance of word choice for giving the story meaning and cohesion.

We look at ways to change sentence structure to emphasize the information that is important, and to ensure that sentences flow easily from one to another.

We look at the scene: how to begin it, how to end it, and how to create the Beats of action-reaction that make up the scene.

And finally we look at the story: what types of problems must a character solve? When does a story introduce a problem? And once a problem is introduced, how do picture storybooks move from problem to solution? What types of solutions do characters find? Is there any part of a story that occurs after the solution is found? To answer these and other questions is to describe storytelling strategies. We look at enduringly popular children's picture storybooks to see what storytelling strategies they employ.

Dale Carnegie's TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING is an updated edition of Carnegie's seminal work, PUBLIC SPEAKING, the four course books in public speaking published by the YMCA in 1920. These course books are unduplicated by later works.

Here is the authentic Dale Carnegie, both folksy and erudite, teaching us not only Courage and Self-Confidence, but the secrets of Preparing the Speech; Opening and Closing an Address; giving the Convincing Speech, the Popular Speech, the Humorous Speech, the Decisive Speech, and much more.

Carnegie shows that public speaking is the ideal vehicle for people in all walks of life to gain the self-confidence that brings success in all their endeavors.

While Carnegie cites public figures well-known in the 1920s, the principles are equally vital and valid today.

Benjamin Franklin-racy? When we think of Franklin, we think of a statesman, an inventor, a man of worldly wisdom-and a man temperate in all his affairs. The last thing we think of is racy. But Franklin's own words, written in a letter to his son, tell of the scrapes, the tricks, the imbroglios and the intrigues that young Ben was party to. Did you know that Ben had to post bail for himself? Or that he was afraid of contracting a venereal disease? Did you know that he jilted a girl? And engaged in bribery? These little family anecdotes of no importance to others, as Ben called them, make for great reading. And inspirational reading, as well, for from these anecdotes we learn that a great man is, after all, only human, and that a successful life is not without its mistakes, or errata, as Ben called them. Without changing Franklin's words or spelling at all, the editor of this edition has broken Franklin's text down into bite-sized paragraphs, assigned memorable headings to his stories by selecting from the very words he used, and split the work into natural chapters with chapter headings. An index was also added. Finally, the work was laid out in a relatively large type, with plenty of white space so as not to overwhelm with the too-dense, too-daunting print of earlier editions of Franklin's autobiography. The result is an easy-to-read, easy-to-browse book, filled with memorable family anecdotes from one of our Founding Fathers.

Writing and selling nonfiction magazine articles for children and teenagers can be rewarding and lucrative. The tools of the trade I discuss in this book will enable you to snare article assignments and sell articles whether or not you have been published. If you are not a published writer, writing nonfiction for children and teens is an accessible and ideal method of breaking into print. It also provides a reliable, ongoing source of assignments and markets for experienced, widely published authors. Children and teen magazine editors are hungry for well-researched, well-written nonfiction, and the chances of selling magazine nonfiction are far greater than those of selling fiction. Selling nonfiction magazine articles is also far easier than selling nonfiction or fiction books. The fact that most magazines are published monthly gives magazine editors a greater ongoing need for new material. The need for children's magazine nonfiction one of the best kept secrets in the trade. At the risk of divulging well-kept secrets and tips for succeeding in this market, I've written this book to provide a comprehensive guide to planning, researching, writing, and marketing magazine nonfiction for children and teens. There are books out there on writing nonfiction in general and on magazine nonfiction in general, but they offer limited insight into the specifics of writing and selling articles for children and teens. This book will give you the specifics you need to get started in a richly fulfilling and financially rewarding full- or part-time career. Welcome to the exciting world of children's nonfiction articles, and enjoy the journey towards success as you explore this Treasure Trove of Opportunity.
