mbarker.livejournal.comWriting Excuses Season Two Episode Two: How to Write for Children with Brandon Mull
From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2008/10/19/writing-season-2-episode-2-how-to-write-for-children-with-brandon-mull/
Key points: Children's writing is not just picture books. Middle grades are 4 to 8, and Young Adult is 8th grade to 18. Keep the audience in mind, but don't write down. Keep the ideas big, even if the words are simple and clear and the characters younger. Pay attention to what interests kids.
