Ever tried to write a book ? And how
do you get it published? Says
publisher John Hale: Children,
like all professional writers, need
certain abilities to produce a
publishable work. They have to be
able to think up a good plot;
convincing and original characters ;
have an eye for detail and a high
degree of determination to bring
their work up to professional
standards. This week we talk to
three young authors whose work is
already in print. Plus a dance
company with a difference, Flash
Gordon and your letters.
