I can think of no author more qualified to write a book of this nature. Richard Scrimger brings his innate talent and humor to this practical guide that breaks down the elements of writing a good story. As informative as it is laugh out loud funny, anyone who wants to write stories will find his suggestions to be useful. Highly recommended
After finishing Monday’s presentations, Pat dropped me off at Once Upon a Bookstore, a wonderful children’s bookstore owned and operated by Melissa Bourdon-King.
Here’s a pic of Melissa and her mother at Once Upon a Bookstore in Kelowna.
I loved browsing this beautiful store and it was interesting to chat with Melissa and her mother about the research and planning that goes in to their selections. Children’s authors are fortunate to have advocates like Melissa and Once Upon a Bookstore.
Melissa’s mom led me over to their authors’ signing wall and handed me a pen!
But how can one compete with this!!?? It’s Kevin Sylvester’s dragon! Speak about over-achieving!
Richard Scrimger drew an elbow. Not quite so intimidating. I drew a pysanka (what else is new?!)
