Advice for young writers and their parents by an 8-year-old prodigy. Eight-year-old author Adora Svitak is on a campaign to help children discover how creative writing can open the doors of imagination and learning.

Adora is prolific (writes 200,000 words per year), talented and dedicated to skilfully advancing her writing techniques, themes and vocabulary. How did Adora get so far in such a short amount of time? This book attempts to answer that question and inspire children and parents to experience the joy and freedom creative writing.

Adora often appears at schools and libraries with her laptop and projector to demonstrate her writing process live.
