I suggest that you would like to write the same book, as well as a book a young and the elderly. So, if your goal is to write a middle grade mystery for ages 8-12, also read mysteries for ages 7-10 and 10-14. In this way, you’ll become educated about precisely what makes up a middle grade fiction novel and how it’s different from fiction for older and younger readers. You can even understand that your story is not true, after all, for middle-level.
Another reason is that a large number of high-quality reading books, you need a yardstick to judge their own work. You’ll learn which “rules” can’t be broken and those that have more wiggle room. For example, you’ll be hardpressed to find a 60-page picture book in the stores, even by a wellknown author. If you have a picture book for so long, you have no choice but to reconsider the appropriate stories, and 32. However, you can try non-traditional characters and unexpected point of view. And the older the reader, the fewer rules apply. But no matter what you do with your plot, characters or writing style, make sure you know why you’re doing it. Don’t write the story in present tense unless it needs to unfold in real time for the reader. Do not reproduce unless they are essential to understanding what happened in the story now.
Recognize their own strengths. Some authors are brilliant nonfiction writers but can’t sell new fiction book. Other recipients of wonderful picture books, but the overriding of a new level. Instead of trying to force a style that isn’t you, start with what you’re naturally good at. You don’t have to publish fiction to be a successful author. You may dream of writing picture books, but if you have a knack for relating to teenagers, maybe young adult best thriller books are your future.
Discovering your strengths involves experimenting with several writing styles and age groups. If you don’t know where to start, think about the kinds of children’s books you most like to read. Then play around with writing dialogue or scenes for the same age group. If you’re naturally drawn to nonfiction, make a list of topics that excite you. Start by writing about one of the subjects in the style of some of your favorite children’s magazines.
