About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-5-The appeal of this title is that it not only gives step-by-step directions to help illustrate and produce a book, but also discusses the fiction and nonfiction writing processes. The "mountain climber's method of planning and writing a good story" is presented, focusing on character, setting, problem, and solution. The "sailor's way of writing a good nonfiction story" emphasizes using personal experiences as starting points for how-to stories, interviews, biographies, and factual reports. Editing, illustrating, binding, and promoting are also introduced. The full-color illustrations reiterate points made in the text and complement it well, showing in a graphic and fun manner the how-tos of becoming an author. Would-be writers couldn't be anything but successful if they use this concise manual.
