写卖象Hotcakes的儿童图书的7把钥匙
： Caterina Christakos

有七个根本原因有些书成功，并且其他在作者的书架收集尘土。成功的这七把钥匙作为作者甚而是简单的，明显，仍然在我们的文字中间多数人的我们忘记他们。

我们得到，因此集中于书的想法我们忘记技工。这得奖作者使用的战略：

1) 创造您的观众能关连的一个英雄。

审查您的目标市场诚实地。谁读您的书？正因为您认为您的主要字符是滑稽的，迷人和精采不意味着他们意志甚至那是什么他们关心对。

2) 为您的观众，没有您的highschool英国教授写。已经有莎士比亚。多数风格不要求您写象他。如果您写在一个水平在他们的领悟之外，您让您的观众厌恶。

3) 给您的读者他或她可以移情的一个问题。

前。写为十几岁的女孩的您？然后某事做以痛苦青年期言情或者缺乏因此，威力是一个好开始。

4) 提供一个报应牌子感觉。反对者在您的故事应该看来是一切您的主要字符不是。然后回去并且给他或她一些优良品质。

人们不是好或邪恶的。您的字符应该有同样字符特征，作为其余人类。

前。一位窃贼以良心或谁恨大家除了他的妹，他照顾，自从他们的妈妈死了。

给所有您的字符深度。

5) 为您的主要字符提供障碍。 Both your hero and antagonist need to have a few bumps in the road. Life isn’t smooth. Let them both screw up and figure their way out of their messes.

6) Your hero, at the very least, must learn a lesson about himself or herself. Is he braver than he thought he was? Is her nerdiness actually an asset?

Your characters should have some type of self-realization. It can be subtle. You do not have to go into a five chapter monologue on it, just give the readers some clues that he or she has changed.

7) Begin and end your story with a bang. Grab your reader’s attention in the beginning and have them hoping for a sequel in the end. The rest, no matter how much work you put into it, will probably be skimmed until they hit the next seat gripping scene. Your job is to make that skim time as short as possible.
