  • 11 MOST Common Writing Mistakes Children's Authors are Making
    If you are currently writing your own children's book, then this video is a must. After having provided hundreds of 1-on-1 feedback sessions on aspiring authors' children's books, I've learned that there are a number of common mistakes that come up over and over again. So in this video, I'm going to share 11 tiny tweaks that we can make RIGHT NOW that will help us elevate our already wonderful children's story to make it an even better one.

    Excellent advice, Eevie. One small caveat when using true-rhyme and near-rhyme wording is being aware of argot and accent. In some parts of the world, the word "past" is pronounced "p-ass-t" others pronounce it as "p-ah-st" [that's how I say it], others say "p-ess-t". A writer might fall foul of an accent accident if writing for publication in a different nation. I live in Australia but I will publish in USA and UK, too. Thus, choosing the better, all-round compatible word rhyme is paramount for understanding. On that note, meanings of words vary dramatically internationally, so be cautious of assumptions that your real intention is what is being implied, and not that the unrealised meaning has been inferred. Sorry, I went into lecture mode again. I love your work!

    I made the changes my editor suggested and now, for "Eevi-magic". Thank you for showing me how to create a strong and passionate story by becoming aware of ineffective mistakes I can so easily avoid. It encourages me to keep working until these books are published. Appreciate all you do!
