Childrens Book of the Month Club - The Perfect Gift

By Caterina Christakos & Tim Shank

Reading is almost becoming a lost art. Between the video games, children’s DVDs and the endless variety of shows that are geared towards children it’s hard to imagine a time when a child would actually sit down and read a book for enjoyment. There are some children, however that love to read, and they say that this stems from them being read to at a young age, plus having access to some material that they would actually enjoy reading.

I can remember, as a child, when we would have the childrens book of the month club in our school. I feel sorry for children that do not have that same love for books as I did when I was a youngster. Fortunately some people are not allowing that to happen to their child, or grandchild.

There are plenty of services out there that now offer a book of the month club that is specifically geared toward the younger reader.

Giving the gift of reading is a very precious thing, and when you watch a child grow up loving books it adds so much more to their lives than when they only have the video games and TV to fill the quiet moments.

Writing a Children’s Book that Sells Like Hotcakes

There are seven fundamental reasons that some books succeed and others collect dust on the author’s bookshelf. We get so focused on the idea of the book that we forget the mechanics. Here is the strategy that award winning authors use:

1. Create a hero that your audience can relate to.

2. Examine your target market honestly. Who will be reading your book?

3. Write for your audience, not your highschool English professor. Ex. Your characters should have the same character traits, as the rest of humanity.

Ex. Give all your characters depth.

4. Provide obstacles for your main characters. Life isn’t smooth. Your characters should have some type of self-realization.

Your job is to make that skim time as short as possible.
