Writing From the Heart

Writing From The Heart  Joy Cowley

Joy Cowley’s wonderful new book offers advice for all children's writers. 

Celebrated children’s author Joy Cowley distils 40 years of experience as a writer in her new book, Writing from the Heart.

Writing from the Heart is essential reading for practising or intending children’s writers.  Joy's warmly written content covers plot development, discipline, dialogue, humour, presentation and editing, and there are chapters on the special genres of early readers, fiction for children and teenagers, poetry and plays.
 
The witty cartoon-style illustrations are by the well-known Auckland artist Fraser Williamson.

Writing From The Heart is being published by the Storylines Children’s Literature Charitable Trust as a fundraising venture.  All proceeds will go to assist Storylines in its work to promote children's books and literature. 

Joy Cowley is internationally recognised for her more than 600 early readers, along with novels and poetry for children, and her work as a teacher of creative writing for children in more than 10 countries. She has also won critical acclaim for her adult novels and short stories.
