Hello everyone.

Please I'm looking for a writer of Children's books. Most of the locally published ones are so badly written and so boring and full of moral prosing. So I'm looking for something different and entertaining. An example of what I'm looking for is like Mairi Hedderwick, author of "Katie Morag" series or the Topsy and Tim series. Quality Indigenous writing that isn't dumbed down. Is this possible? Thanks.
Ps: if you can write for a heroine from a Minority tribe in Nigeria, even better.

Yes, there is... Where do u live and how would u want to meet.

Yes, I know one.

Hey! So I'm primarily a children's book author. I have a Middle Grade Fantasy Adventure coming this fall. I also have another children's book written, but I'm uncertain of its date of publication. If you want, I can send you a sneak peak so you can see and access it. Interestingly, one of the major characters in the book is a girl from a minority tribe. You can email me at: kachiugo3@gmail.com. You can also check out my website at www.kachiugo.com. Cheers!

What exactly do you want to do with it.

I know a child that writes stories. Nice one belive me though unpublished but it's good.

So do you have anything to offer??

There are many writers in this section who can do something like this.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm primarily looking for someone who can write for ages 3-7 or slightly older. Please take a look at the writers/shows I mentioned: Katie Morag, Sarah and Duck, Nelly and Norah, Topsy and Tim. It's a slice of life type of story. There is an idea already developed and we would like to get as much research as possible to make it nostalgic and sweet. Please take a look at the shows and books I mentioned above, it's important. They are not just looking for any writer. Thanks.
(The reason I'm stressing looking at the shows is that we have tried looking for other writers before but got bland or boring stuff or moralising. I suggested that we look for someone with a sense of humour who has a child so would understand how exciting the world was to a child).

Hi again. So, I had the time to take a look at the titles you mentioned, and it became clearer what you wanted. However, I should warn you that TV shows and books are two entirely different media. And the rules of execution are totally different. Also, it seems what you really want to do is a picture book. In that case, you'd need a book illustrator not an author. Except what you want is a book with illustrations, then you'd primarily need an author, then have an illustrator do some illustrations.

But then again, you already have an idea developed. If the idea is already developed, why do you need to research? Also, 'child' is relative. The era in which I was a child would be different from the era in which my parents were children. But I should warn you again: it's never a good idea to write a children's book, thinking back to when you were a child. You won't connect very well with your audience which are kids, because they live in a different era--one with iPads and Keeping up with the Kadashians .

Again, I'd suggest you take a look at the Chapter One of a children's book I wrote (Wrath of Elijah -- #1, The Blood Moons Series) and had illustrated. It's humorous, with wild adventures that have earth shattering consequences. I hope your idea is also thrilling; I don't do boring.

I'd love to discuss these points and more with you, but not on an open forum. We could correspond via email if you like: kachiugo3@gmail.com

Cheers!

Thanks for your detailed info. "Katie Morag", "Topsy and Tim" are based on children's books written much earlier in the century, which were later converted to shows currently (and are very relevant as I am now watching them with children). Enid Blyton may not have aged So well, which is why I did not mention her as a reference. So we do need an author. Those book series have a certain feel to it, whìch we are looking for. The research is to give an authentic flavour to it (we are interviewing certain people). We are not looking for modern writers, we are looking for people who understand and can empathise with a 5 year old. Also, I earlier mentioned that the age bracket is 3-7 years, so not for the Kim Kardashian demographic or strongly written books. I hope I'm clear to everyone.
