by EileenChristelow (Author)

Synopsis

A humorous and instructive look at how authors develop their ideas into a book and then find a pub-lisher. Step-by-step, the author describes the dedication and patience that writing requires; the help supplied by friends, family, editors, designers, and printers; and the satisfaction of readers' appreciation. Librarians and teachers introducing the writing process will find this title very useful. -- School Library Journal, starred review
