This book offers wise and invaluable advice for all writers wanting to publish books for children and young adults.
New Zealand’s celebrated children’s author Joy Cowley distils 40+ years’ experience as an author in her book Writing from the Heart.
Writing from the Heart is essential reading for practising or intending children’s writers.

The cartoon-style illustrations are by the well-known Auckland artist Fraser Williamson.
