Here I am going to begin a list of Links to sites and other resources that I have found extremely valuable. With each, I will attempt to include a brief description of the resource and why it is/was valuable.
1. Nancy Lamb’s book on writing children’s books (though it is quite broad and applicable to most creative writing).
http://www.amazon.com/Writers-Crafting-Stories-Children-library/dp/1582970521/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
2. Check out a segment of your writing with a Readability Index. This calculator will give you a basic idea if your writing is actually geared toward the age group/reading level that you are hoping to target.
