"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
~ Mark Twain

Two articles for you this time:

Info Dump ~ AKA Author Intrusion
Make it personal! If you want your reader to care, you have to make sure the info you dribble in relates to the characters your readers cares about.

Close 3rd Person POV
The close third person point of view gives readers the intimacy of the first person point of view, while allowing the writer more freedom than the first person POV does..

Please visit Writing for Children for more tips, articles, links, and discussion on how to write and publish for children.

Don’t forget—if you have questions or comments you are welcome at the community forum or, if you'd rather, you may always reply to this newsletter.

Feel free to pass this along to family and friends who are also interested in writing for children.

Thanks so much!
