The most important advice I can offer is that writing is a craft that you can learn by practicing. If you keep writing, you will improve. Lauren Tarshis Read Quote
I had learning problems when I was in elementary school, and didn’t really start to read well until high school. I never read any of the middle grade classics that were popular when I was young – ‘Harriet the Spy’, ‘Charlotte’s Web’, ‘The Witch of Blackbird Pond’, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’.
