It’s Official - You Have No More Excuses Not To Write That Book.
Any petty reason you might have for not persuing your dream of writing children’s books has now been thoroughly put to shame, thanks to an Australian gentleman named Richard Dabinett.
Richard, a 66 year old Blacktown resident, published his first book, A Day’s Fishing with Pop, last February and has sold 1300 copies. He has a dozen more books written and is about to release Shaboo - The Runaway Elephant.
So what’s the big deal? Just this:
Richard Dabinett learned how to read and write just four years ago, at the age of 62.
So, what was that excuse of yours again?

Dear Mr. Dabinett,
I am inspired by your story and would like to ask you if there is one main tip you can give of what process to follow to submit a children’s article or book. I have written several stories for magazine articles but I am confused of how to get started in the submission process and how to choose what magazine.
Thank you for any advice you can give me.

Dear Mr. Dabinett,
I am inspired by your story, I have been wanting to write but have never got started thinking I was never good enough.
But now I will definately put in more effort, and if you can, I can too.
Thank you,
Christine
