8 Steps to Creating a Kids' Nonfiction Book

I love it when I have two whole weeks to focus on writing, which has been the case since my last post—yay! I’m collaborating with another Kingston, Ontario writer, and we’ve been working (slowly) on a children’s book project for nearly a year, on and off. Together, we are infusing new life into an old manuscript, making it accessible, engaging, and lively for today’s awesome kids. OK, yeah, I know you want to know what the book is, but I can't say just yet. Mum's the word! (The above, slightly skewed, pic of my Backyard Circus proposal is an example of a winning proposal, but this isn't what I'm currently sweating over.) Suffice it to say, having a block of two weeks to focus on this project has been downright glorious.
