Hello writers! 

This fall is going to be insanely busy for me, so I’m going to cut back and only post once a week to go with my YouTube videos. Then, hopefully, after things calm down I can get back to more than once a week.

This week’s video (YOU CAN WATCH IT HERE) is all about writing for children, and more specifically writing picture books.

This is something that I am asked about all the time, I see questions asked in kid lit groups on Facebook and other social media sites, and when I meet people out in the world.

It seems that everyone has an idea or wants to write a picture book. 

That is amazing. I believe that picture books can change the world. They are important, they are fun, they can teach lessons, they open up reading to children and the list goes on.

So YAY, you want to write one? 

Well, there are things that you need to know about writing them.

Please pop over to YouTube and watch the short video I created for YOU. AND grab your free PDF just for watching—and for being someone who reads my blog you can get your copy here too. 

I want to share this information with you because I want you to succeed AND I want children to read your book.

Let’s go!! 

Thanks for reading xo Stephanie

I Wrote Picture Books Awhile Back..

FarFaria, kidlit, Picture Books, Talk like a pirate, Writing

Today is talk like a pirate day and it reminded me of this book I wrote for the mobile app #Farfaria in 2013. I wrote a few for them in the two years that I worked from SoCal for them when they first got started. They have over 1000 titles. This is one of 16 that I wrote for them.

Now, I’m mostly concentrating on my YA books, but since I’m also an illustrator, I may swing back around to picture books someday.

The truth is that I love storytelling in all mediums!!

I hope you are all doing fabulous and I promise in 2018 I’m launching a lot of new things for writers, including Vlogs, blogs, tips, freebies and more!!

I am super excited. Finally 8 of the picture books that I was hired to write for FarFaria (a mobile app/online) are listed. I worked for them in 2012/2013. These were my first picture books that I got published.

I updated my website page to include them. http://www.stepholivieri.com/#!books/c164h Since it’s a mobile app, they don’t put credits on the cover, but one the links they say written by Stephanie Olivieri and then illustrated by the illustrator they chose.
