JUVENILE BIOGRAPHY

Biography of a famous person written specifically to be of interest to children. Often the book focuses on their childhood or early life, if any of that information is available. These

 

 

 books must be filled with action and dialogue—not a narration of the facts or events. Bring to life the

 

 

person being featured and the time in which they lived. The audience for such books is children 6-12

 

 

years. Typical length is 1,000 words for 6-7-year-olds; 10,000-25,000 words for 8-12-year-olds; and

 

 

over 30,000 or more for those 13 and older.
