Jacqueline Wilson's rules for writing realistic characters | The Art Of

[@inumaru4583]

Jacqueline Wilson is an author that I've come to appreciate more and more as I grow older. She writes kids in such a believeable way and she handles serious topics such as child abuse and death in a way that's understandable for children while not talking down on them. Her books were so special to me as a child and I hope kids will continue to find solace in her books as I did ❤

Oh my god, she is my favorite writer. I read many of her books in 2008-2013, even though the book is translated to Indonesian. She literally shaped my childhood. And Nick Sharrat's illustration is very nostalgic.

I can still vividly remember the character's from The bed and breakfast star. I always loved the relatable family dynamics in Jacqueline's book.

It’s such a privilege to listen to the legend Jacqueline speak about her craft, inspiration and routine. This interview has really motivated me! 😊

Jacqueline Wilson is an absolute legend! Her work was so influential to me in my childhood

[@bluediamond1414]

Nostalgia evokes some funny feelings for me. As someone who had a relatively privileged childhood up till a point then was very suddenly thrown into the care system I found comfort in Wilsons books particularly the Tracy Beaker ones ... those stories transgressed the stages of my childhood and any time I opened a book I remembered reading tucked up with my mum, I was back home again. With both the bad and the good. I guess thats life!

My favouriteee❤

[@charliedrosario999]

Why wasn't it published properly.

[@Justabookgirl34]

I still read them

[@charliedrosario999]

I wish all publishers would publish these books, or in fact all books properly. I don't see how it is right too leave a gargantuan gap between the lines. I am not stating an opinion. I hate seeing books of wonderful authors being published in this awful manner. I do sometimes get on my typewriter and write them out, trying too print these books properly like that, it is more of a pastime than a profession. There only be a very small gap between the lines. It seems too me that they are just doing this too a book just too jut out the book, in other words making the book larger in a rather parochial way.
