Best advice to someone (me) who wants to start writing children’s books?

[Guest]

I have a degree in English and I’ve been itching to write for a while… I have an idea for a series (same main character, different books/life lessons).

I would love to hear any of your tips and advice!

Read children books and find out what children are reading now days.
Then start to write good luck.

don't dumb it down. kids meet your standards when you set them authentically high.

I am 16000 words into my first. I decided on the age I was aiming st first. I made up some characters and am away with it. I've read third person is easiest for the first book so have gone with that. Dictating works well for the first draft for me. Each day I'm trying to read a bit more about the business of publishing. Enjoy it.
