Tips for your pitch letter
We often talk to writers about their pitch letter and a usual part of
that is a line about which books your own one would sit on the shelf
with. Reading is a huge part of writing - read widely and also in
depth in your genre. If you are writing YA, what are the bestselling
YA books - and try and figure out why. If you are writing nature
books - what books have succeeded in the past - and currently.
Check which famous writer you write like with
this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice
and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.

Top tips for writing for
children
From children's book
author, Clementine Beauvais
Don't think small
Children love all things big, and not just dinosaurs.
They can cope with complicated words they've never seen before:
that's what they've been doing non-stop since they were born. They can
cope with difficult, dark, touchy topics: they're always asking their
parents about them. They can cope with humour: they often wish adults
had more of it. Don't give them small, cosy, mundane stories.
