Lesson 4

This lesson moves into nonfiction writing. One of the most important aspects of this lesson is creating a query letter. Oooooh, the dreaded query. Lesson 4 provides the basic elements of writing a WINNING query. It also explains in detail how to study the market you will be writing in. In the last section in this lesson you are shown the correct structure for writing nonfiction articles for children: How do you begin, how do you end, what's a sidebar, should you use one? All these questions and more are answered.
