Child Writes – A step-by-step guide to writing and illustrating a children’s picture book by Emma Mactaggart, edited by Ainsley Shepherd, Boogie Books 2015

You have a burning desire to create something or to teach others to create something… I know! Otherwise you wouldn’t have bought this boo. You are exactly the person I wrote this for. I can just imagine your search for a step-by-step resource guide which takes you through the ENTIRE writing, illustrating and publishing process, beginning with extracting an idea from your head and ending with you reading your words on pages which may even be decorated by your beautiful illustrations. But to reach that point, you knew you needed to understand how to organise the printing, the promotion, and indeed all the other practical jobs and responsibilities which fall to an individual along the exciting and self-fulfilling journey which is creating a children’s picture book.
