Whether a newbie at children’s book writing learning basic terminology or someone more experienced, it always pays to have a handy reference for the many terms in the field that we encounter. Have you found yourself wondering … What is back matter? What’s the big deal about Bologna? (And no, it doesn’t have a first name.) And what really is a graphic novel?
Wonder no more! Simply refer to Harold Underdown’s all-encompassing glossary of publishing terms and jargon from his book, “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Publishing Children’s Books.” In addition, Underdown’s web site, The Purple Crayon, will provide a wealth of information for you on writing and publishing in this field.
It’s good to find concise information in one spot!
