​How to learn about writing and publishing

Writing is work.
​Learning the publishing process is work.

Writing the book "Digger Dynamo"

12/17/2015

 
Do you want to write a book for readers 8 to 12 years old? I do, but it has evolved over the last five years from just a simple narrative to a chapter book that I plan to self-publish.

I have interviewed diggers from four years old to 94 years old, geologists, mineral specialists, prospectors, archeologists, miners, a drone flyer, explorers, trail guides, 
meteorite hunters, and others in the geosciences.

    This blog is a journal of my "digging" to learn about writing and publishing. It is ongoing. I have written for five decades with my students, but writing a middle grade book challenged me to learn more about story structure and  the publishing business.
