Ideas
for Kid's Fiction Books
Writing for children takes a special kind of writing skill. Not
only do you need to be aware of the words that you use and whether or not they
are grade level correct, you must also try to imagine (or maybe remember) what
it was like to be a kid. You never know what a kid will like. I mean, whoever
expected Diary of a Wimpy Kid to be a best seller?
Searching For The "Write" Idea
There's nothing like watching a child reading a good fiction book. You know the kind. The ones that
makes the kid ask if they can read just one more chapter before bedtime. They are the ones that make
a child laugh for joy or cry for a lost hero. Because if a fiction book can't
bring out some emotion, then what's the point?
These are the books kids share
with their neighbors and friends with sheer joy. And watching that process is
an extraordinay experience. But, yes, there is something better! It's writing
one of those books that makes children from one side of the world to the other
feel like part of one large family.
Here are 2 Samples from a
Standard Use
"Ideas for Children's Fiction
Books" Package
(Your idea package will
include 10 ideas in this format) |
SAMPLE #1: (You
will receive ten ideas in this format)
The Boy Who
Built A Robot In His Basement
Poindexter Pimplepick isn't your ordinary boy. He's a genius of sorts.
He's always building something in his basement workshop. Last year it was
a lawnmower that mowed the yard by remote control. That worked fine until
it got out of control and chewed up his mom's vegetable garden. The year
before that it was an automatic necktie tying machine. That only lasted a
day before it nearly strangled Grandpa Wilson. But this was going to be
his greatest invention. A robot! And surely nothing could go wrong this
time. Could it?
CHARACTERS
Poindexter may be nerdy but he must be loveable to all types of readers.
He is, of course, your main character and you must take care in developing
him. Supporting characters could be any number of people. Mother and
father? Grandpa? Best friends? (Yes, even nerds have friends.) Perhaps a
science teacher as Poindexter could be building his robot for the science
fair. Antagonists could range from an older brother or sister (remember
that an antagonist doesn't always translate into bad or evil) or the
school yard bully who loves to pick on nerds. (Could the robot try and
defend Poindexter against the bully?) Lots of different possibilities
here. Of course, the robot should also play into the picture as a
supporting character. Lots of room for fun and hilarity here, so don't
get too serious.

SAMPLE #2:
Eskimos In Miami
Wouldn't you know it? The Makoktuk family, who live in the coldest regions
of the north, decide they are tired of the cold. That means it must be
time for a trip down south. (And we don't mean down south to Nome,
Alaska.) They visit a travel agent and are suddenly packing their
swimsuits and sunglasses and flying down to Miami, Florida for a week's
vacation in the warm sun. But you wouldn't you know it? There really is no
place like home. Not only do they get sunburned and sand in their clothes,
but there are too many people and wouldn't you know it, they even have
trouble finding enough ice cubes to cool their room!
CHARACTERS
Your main characters would be the members of the Eskimo family. (I grabbed
their name by looking for Eskimo words on the internet, so if do a little
surfing of your own you'd like to find another name.) I would suggest a
father, a mother and at least two children, a boy and a girl. By doing
this you are including characters that all potential readers could
identify with and are not restricting the book to either just male or
female readers. You could also try writing this one as a rhyming picture
book. Possible antagonists could include an elderly grandmother or
grandfather who comes on the trip and hates every minute of it. Of course,
no one wants to admit that they are not having fun which makes the problem
even worse. Or you might
include a hotel owner who isn't fond of having the family stay at his
classy resort hotel.
