ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I started writing seriously in 2001. That's not long ago for person who's on the grey side of 50.
As I write this six years later, I have just had my Hundredth children's book accepted for publication.
THAT'S RIGHT - 100 books in six years!
Don't get me wrong - I'm not talking just about 100,000 word novels. I'm talking just about writing that pays well but is quick to produce. The list includes easy readers for schools, chapter books, novels for tweens, articles, poems, plays, non-fiction books, local histories ... I've had all of these promulgated and more.
My children's books are oversubscribed all about the earth - in the USA, in Europe, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Canada, New Island and Australia.
As well as writing books of my own, I teach another folk how to reach writing success. For years, I wrote a regular column for the international writers' mag Writing4Success. I besides operate an assessment service and I activity as a writing tutor.

Jill McDougall offers practical proposal
on a range of topics, including
acquiring started, finding ideas, gaining feedback and, importantly,
finding markets. She besides shares links to hundreds of publishers which
accept unsought manuscripts, saving the new writer hours of browsing.
.... the list of markets is in itself worth the cost of the book.
An outstanding resource.

Much reviews:
Jill takes you step-by-step into how she builds on a really oversimplified idea and turns it into a basic outline for her books.
I sat down with my seven-year-old grandchild
and used this method, and at the end of the process, with really little prompting from me, he’d defined a story for a ‘dragon’ book. I was astonied at how easy it was to do. (The purpose is that together we wish write this Chapter Book in the near future.) There is perfectly no reason you couldn’t use Jill’s know-how
(or formula as she calls it) to outline fiction aimed at any age group.
This section alone is worth buying the book.

Become a Children’s Writer: Corporate executive Private secrets by Jill McDougall
Review by Susan Stephenson (for the Muse It Up Club )
Once
writing obsessed me, in 2004, I grew into a writing book junkie. I spent much time reading just about writing than actually active
it. Nowadays, it takes thing
special to tempt me into buying another writing resource.
Become a Children’s Writer: Corporate executive Secrets, an e-book by Jill McDougall, IS special. For a start, Jill packed it with down-to-earth, available information, and she’s written the book in an piquant and amusing style. Once
I wasn’t scribbling down notes and ideas from Jill’s prompts, I was giggling over the way she illustrated points.
Don’t get the idea that it’s lightweight. It’s chockfull of practical material, from writing tips, to markets, to an analysis of common mistakes and how to fix them. Jill doesn’t talk down to her readers. Rather, she treats them as colleagues with whom she’s sharing hard-learnt lessons. With over 100 books accepted for publication, Jill speaks with authority. In fact, she confides that she’s ready-made most of the mistakes she tells us how to fix!
I’m not a beginner as a writer. However, only one of my promulgated credits is in this genre. I cognize now I needful to listen to a multi-published writer able to give me inside knowledge. I believe the timesaving strategies and tricks in Become a Children’s Writer wish help my writing sparkle.
As a tutor in a children’s writing course, Jill has seen thousands of stories by developing writers. Once
she discovered her list of the ten most common mistakes developing writers make, I cringed to realise I’d ready-made galore of them. Lucky for me, she enclosed
fixes in her e-book. I’m actuated to take to several of my stories with a scalpel, and I cognize they’ll be the better for it. Thanks, Jill.
Just
wanted to say that I bought your ebook last week and it's fabulous! It
is just so easy to see compared to a lot of material I've seen. And
the amusing touches to it just do it such an gratifying read!! Infact,
I see it all in one go :-) Really helpful - I wish support it by my side!
