How to Write a Story
The writing principles and story elements in this book are the same for children and adults. The important difference for children naturally is because the story must be age-appropriate and slanted for young readers.
A step by step method that has worked for hundreds of parents, teachers and aspiring writers. The only book that teaches how to construct every part of a story or novel.
You'll wonder why no one has given this information before in such a helpful form.

How to Write an Adult Story
What’s the difference between writing fiction for adults and writing for children?
My book, “How to Write a Story –An Instructional Guide for Understanding and Teaching Basic Story Writing” is slanted for teachers to instruct children – BUT this book will work well for adults wanting learn how to write publishable stories.
I have used all the teaching in this book in writing 50-plus novels for children and adults just by changing the slant and age appropriateness.
This book has the same writing principles that I taught adults all across the United States. Hundreds of my adult students have taken this instruction and sold their first novel or sometimes many novels
In simple, concise terms, it contains such guidelines as:
- Beginning: What five elements must be in the beginning of a publishable story?
- Structure: What are the three structural parts of a story, and what elements must be under each of those parts?
- Ending: What story elements must be in the ending of a publishable story?
There’s much more, of course, such as plotting, creating characters, dialogue, scenes, -- needed in a solid story. If you’re an adult wanting to learn how to write a publishable story, take a good look at my book, “How to Write a Story.”
