New Releases by Margaret Clark

Partiendo de la premisa de que escribir para niños requiere no menos talento que escribir para cualquier otra persona, este libro describe, para empezar, los factores que distinguen la publicación y la comercialización de los libros infantiles y juveniles. Luego pasa a explicar las formas de escribir para diferentes grupos de edad y según los diferentes géneros, con ejemplos de reconocidos autores de literatura infantil que sirven de guía, estímulo y aliento. Esta edición corregida incluye un epílogo sobre los cambios ocurridos últimamente en el campo de la edición para niños. «Lo mejor del libro es la forma en que equilibra los puntos de vista de los editores, los escritores, los padres, los educadores y, por supuesto, los niños. Muy recomendable.»
