NEVER RECEIVED IT! (I rated one star because it won't let me rate it 0):
I received an email on March 18, 2006, asking me to write a review. I've waited this long because I kept thinking I would receive it any day - It's June 1st and I still have not received this book!! I've called about it, and was told they would look into it (that was 1st part of May) - still nothing. Can someone tell me what's going on please!! Thank you (I think)?
Recommended reading if you want to get serious about writing!:
I would definately recommend this book if you are serious about writing for children. Very useful, easy to understand and it covers all the ins and outs of the basics for writing for children and other negotiations etc.
