Monday Writing Tip: Picture books are meant to be read aloud. By strangers. With any luck, LOTS of strangers. So have other people read your picture book manuscripts aloud TO you. You'll be able to hear where they trip up, where certain words or phrases sound jumbled, and it will help you pinpoint exactly where you need to revise. (In theory you could do this with all writing.) Eventually your books will be performed live for children by adults who are coming to the text cold. So set them up for success by revising with that in mind. #kidlit #amwriting #writingtips #amrevising #picturebooks
