You must write for children in the same way as you do for adults, only better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't write for children. I write and someone says it's for children.
Anyone who says that writing for children or teens is easier than writing for adults has never tried it, because they are so much more critical than adults. You cannot get anything past them.
We write not only for children but also for their parents. They, too, are serious children.
It feels presumptuous to think of writing for adults.
It is extremely important to me to write for children.
You cannot write for children They're much too complicated. You can only write books that are of interest to them.
It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's 'mature' critics often are.
Writing for children is bloody difficult; books for children are as complex as their adult counterparts, and they should therefore be accorded the same respect.
Now I don't really write for adults or kids - I don't write for kids, I write about them. I think you need to do that, otherwise you end up preaching down.
I mean, I don't write for kids.
