Editor Spotlight: Laura Backes

August 12, 2016

Today we have the pleasure of interviewing freelance editor and publisher of the Children's Book Insider Laura Backes. Enter her giveaway for a free seat at the Picture Book Summit 2016!

Tell us about your background and how you came to found CBI.

I moved to New York City in 1985 and was working in various capacities at publishing houses for a few years (publicity, subsidiary rights, editorial). Then I got a job as a literary agent at Goodman Associates, and represented their children's book clients. I found myself writing these long rejection letters, explaining how the author needed to revise the work. I said to Jon Bard (now my husband/business partner, then my boyfriend), "I wish there was a source of information I could just refer people to." And he said, "Why don't you start one?" So in May of 1990 the first issue of Children's Book Insider, The Children's Writing Monthly rolled off the presses. It wasn't my full-time job until 1993 when Jon sold his public relations company, we moved to Colorado, and he joined me in the business. That's when we expanded into creating all kinds of tools to teach authors how to write, market and publish their work.



Tell us about CBI and writeforkids.org.

The Children's Book Insider of 2016 has several divisions. We're working on getting them all under one umbrella, but right now we have:

Children's Book Insider (www.cbiclubhouse.com). This includes our monthly electronic newsletter and membership site that houses 26 years worth of information on writing and publishing books, magazine articles, apps and ebooks for kids and teens. Children's Book Insider has evolved from six pages back in 1990 to an average of 17 pages a month today. It includes articles and interviews on a wide variety of topics (always with a solid how-to focus), and every month features two pages of writing markets, contests and conferences. We also host webinars about every 4-6 weeks on topics ranging from writing to setting up school visits to getting your book reviewed on Amazon.

WritingBlueprints. Our Blueprints unlock the DNA of top-notch books in different age groups, and take you through the writing of your manuscript step-by-step, using the same approach as the greatest authors on the planet. Our newest offering is Picture Book Blueprint (www.picturebookblueprint.com).

WriteforKids. Our blog, accessible to everyone, that delves into many areas related to children's books, especially at the beginner level (www.writeforkids.org).




Tell us about the Picture Book Summit. What is it, and why should people attend?

PICTURE BOOKSUMMIT is absolutely the BEST conference you'll ever attend on picture book writing. 2016 is the Summit's second year, and we're working hard to top last year, which was outstanding. It's a one-day online event (Oct. 1, 2016), so you don't have to worry about travel, lodging, meals, or even finding a babysitter. 

The Summit features three incredible keynote speakers (this year we have Matt de la Pena, Paul O. Zelinsky, and Jane Yolen), and four workshops lead by myself, Katie Davis (The Institute of Children's Literature), Julie Hedlund (12 x 12 Picture Book Writing Challenge) and Emma Walton Hamilton (bestselling author, and acclaimed editor and writing coach). We also have recorded editor and agent panels, and lots of opportunities for attendees to ask questions of all the speakers.

The entire event is recorded, so if you can't attend the whole thing live, you'll have access to each session to watch over and over. Attendees also get a PDF packet of information, and other goodies. Oh, and there's dancing. How many conferences can say that?

Our Early Bird registration price for the Picture Book Summit ($247) is good untilAugust 15 --go to: http://picturebooksummit.com/registration-2016/



What are some of the biggest changes you've seen in children's publishing since you've begun?

Well, I've been doing this for over 30 years, so that's a lot of changes. Picture books have much shorter texts; YA fiction has boldly embraced all kinds of real-world issues; middle grade and YA authors can achieve rock star celebrity among their readers (which is wonderful); series fiction definitely needs a strong, commercial hook; and of course the push for diversity of characters and books (fiction and nonfiction) that reflect a wide range of cultures, religions, family structures, abilities and experiences. Just to name a few.



As a professional editor, what are the biggest mistakes you see in the work of aspiring authors?

One consistent mistake I see is that many authors clearly haven't been reading a lot of recently-published books from the age group and genre in which they want to write. They may not understand the sophisticated humor of today's picture books, or the difference between middle grade and young adult fiction (often I'll see a manuscript that the author thinks is YA, but it's actually middle grade with a 15-year-old protagonist). Or they don't understand the pacing of an early chapter book and mistakenly allow the plot slow down through the story's middle. 

They're basing their writing on books they read as a child, and publishing has changed tremendously in the last 30 years. The changes aren't good or bad, but they exist. To get published today, an author must understand how children's books are written today.



What the one or two top pieces of advice you would give to aspiring authors?

Well, read, of course. Read at least 100 books that are in the same age group as your manuscript. And get a strong foundation in the fundamentals of children's book writing. It's become almost a cliche to say "Learn the rules before you break them," but it's true. I would add to that if you're going to break a rule, do it with intention. Know why you're breaking it, and make sure it serves your story. Don't break, or even bend, a rule because you don't want to take the time to learn the rule in the first place.



What trend or movement in the kid lit world are you excited about?

The diversity trend (and I hope it's more than a trend) is very exciting. I'm especially glad to see books emerging where diverse characters populate stories that aren't about diversity. The books simply reflect the real world, which is filled with people of all kinds. I also like that picture books often reflect this diversity in the illustrations, even if the text doesn't mention race or religion or differently-abled characters. 

Another trend I love is the very creative and interesting nonfiction now available to readers of all ages. Nonfiction has become a real growth area in publishing, and I'm constantly amazed at the innovative ways authors and illustrators find to present nonfiction topics to kids.



What is something most people don't know about you?

Every year over Memorial Day weekend, my husband, son and I go to Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas. It's a music festival with old-school punk bands and a bowling tournament in downtown Vegas off Fremont Street. It's just as weird and fun and bizarre as you'd expect.




Laura Backes is publisher of Children's Book Insider, The Newsletter for Children's Writers and co-founder of The Children's Writing Knowledge Base, an online membership community for aspiring and published children's authors (WWW.CBICLUBHOUSE.COM).

My STARTUP :

Let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Nata. I am an author, novelist, blogger and ghost writer. My articles, including short stories have been published in magazines and newspapers since 1994. I have written a lot of books, both fiction and non-fiction. So I was a professional in the field of writing, both fiction and non-fiction.

I was born in Jakarta, August 17, 1968.  

In 1988, at the age of 20 years, I started working as an accounting staff. Age 24 years has occupied the position of Finance Manager. Age 26 years as a General Manager.

In 1994, my articles published in magazines and tabloids.

In 1997, I wrote a book entitled "Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja". This book is reprinted as much as 8 times. Through the book, the authors successfully helped tens of thousands of people get jobs at once successful in their careers. They were also successful when moving to work in other places.

In 1998, I started investing in shares on Bursa Efek Indonesia (Indonesia stock exchange). As a result of investing in the stock market then I can provide consulting services for companies that want to go public in Indonesia stock exchange.

BUKU PINTAR DAPAT KERJA GAJI TINGGI PINDAH KERJA GAJI SEMAKIN TINGGI made by retyping the book BEST SELLER of the author, entitled “Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja”. This ebook available on google play.

In 2015, I had the idea of a startup company where the readers can decide for themselves the next story. WASN'T THIS A GREAT IDEA? IF can be realized WILL BE WORTH billions USD. Because CAN PRODUCE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS even tens of millions USD annually. 

In theory, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup income, amounting to hundreds of million USD annually can be obtained easily. AND IF FOLLOWED BY MANY COMPANIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL THEN BE A NEW INDUSTRIAL worth trillions USD. 

To be honest. Currently I'm not having a lot of money. So I start marketing my startup with blogspot.

My STARTUP :


A story with millions of choices in it - looking investor like you.



Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards. The more stories you read so the more options you have taken.


If you feel curious then you can re-read the story by changing your selection. Then you will see a different story with the story that you have read previously. The question now is why is this so? Because the storyline will be varying according to your choice. 


I, as the author is planning to make tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it. With tens of thousands of articles then you like to see a show of your favorite series on TV for several years. The difference is while watching your favorite TV series, then you can not change the story. Meanwhile, if you read this story then you can alter the way the story according to your own choice.

You might say like this. Sounds like a book "choose your own adventure". Books I read when I was young.

Correctly. The idea is taken from there. But if you read through a book, the story is not so exciting. Due to the limited number of pages. When a child first you may already feel interesting. But if you re-read the book now then becomes no fun anymore because you don't get anything with the amount of 100-200 pages. 

Have you ever heard of game books?  When you were boy or girl, did you like reading game books? I think you've heard even happy to read it.

Gamebooks are sometimes informally called choose your own adventure books or CYOA which is also the name of the Choose Your Own Adventure series published byBantam BooksGamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A gamebook is a work of fiction that allows the reader to participate in the story by making effective choices. The narrative branches along various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs or pages.

Bantam Books with the Choose Your Own Adventure 

series has produced more than 250 million US 

dollars. While I offer you more powerful than the Choose 

Your Own Adventure. Because of what? Because the 

story that I made much more interesting than the stories 

created by the authors of Bantam Books. You will not get anything just to 100-200 pages. While the story that I created is made up of tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it.

For comparison are the books published with the theme "choose your own adventure" produces more than 250 million copies worldwide. If the average price of a book for 5 USD, the industry has produced more than 1.5 billion USD. But unfortunately this industry has been abandoned because the reader begins to feel bored. The last book was published entitled "The Gorillas of Uganda (prev." Search for the Mountain Gorillas ")". And this book was published in 2013.

Based on the above, then you are faced with two choices. Are you interested in reading my story is? Or you are not interested at all. The choice is in your hands.
If you are interested then spread widely disseminated this article to your family, friends, neighbors, and relatives. You can also distribute it on facebook, twitter, goggle +, or other social media that this article be viral in the world. By doing so it is a new entertainment industry has been created.

Its creator named Richard Nata.

The full articles that talks about this: 
  



WHY DO I NEED STARTUP FUNDS FROM INVESTORS? I NEED A LOT OF FUNDS FROM INVESTORS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOKING FOR EXPERT PROGRAMMERS(IT).BECAUSE THE DATA IS HANDLED IS VERY LARGE, IT MAY HAVE TO WEAR SOME PROGRAMMERS(IT).

I CAN NOT WEAR SOME FREELANCE PROGRAMMER BECAUSE THE DATA MUST BE MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY FROM VIRUSES, MALWARE, SPAM, AND OTHERS.

IN ADDITION FUNDS FROM INVESTORS IS ALSO USED TO BUY SERVERS WITH VERY LARGE CAPACITY. FUNDS ARE ALSO USED TO PAY EMPLOYEE SALARIES AND OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE COMPANY.

FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR ADVERTISING AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED TO ADVERTISE MY STARTUP AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.

IF I GET A VERY LARGE FUND, THE PART OF THE FUNDS USED TO TRANSLATE THE STORY INTO VARIOUS LANGUAGES.With more and more languages, the more readers we get.
WITH MORE AND MORE READERS, THE MORE REVENUE WE GET. 

AS AN INVESTOR THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS. BECAUSE YOUR FUNDS WILL NEVER BE LOST BECAUSE IN 3-5 YEARS YOU HAVE RETURNED THE FUNDS COUPLED WITH PROFIT.
THIS BUSINESS IS ONE AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD.

If we can make a good story, so that the readers will 

come again and again for further reading the story then 

our earnings will continue to grow and will never 

diminish. This is due to new readers who continued  to 

arrive, while long remained loyal readers become our 

customers.

So that the number of our readers will continue to 

multiply over time. With the increasing number of loyal 

readership then automatically the amount of income we 

will also grow larger every year. The same thing 

happened in yahoo, google, facebook, twitter, linkedin

and others when they still startup.

Deuteronomy {28:13} And the LORD shall make thee the 

head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and 

thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them: ]

Try to imagine this. If I give a very unique story. It was the first time in the world. But the world already know this story even liked it. Because the world love the game books. While the story that I made is the development of game books.
Do you Believe if I dare say if I will succeed because my story will be famous all over the world as Harry Potter?
I believe it. Not because I was the author of the story, but because of the story that I made is unique and the only one in the world. 
Income from my startup :
1. Ads. With millions of unique visitors, the price of the ads will be expensive.
2. Affiliate marketing. In addition to advertising, we are also able to put up some banner from affiliate marketing.
3. Contribution of the readers. If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per year then you will get the income of one million US dollars per year. 
If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per month then you will get as much revenue twelve million US dollars per year.
4. Books and Comics. After getting hundreds of thousands to the millions of readers of the story will be made in books and the form of a picture story (comics).
5. Movies. If we have a good story with millions of readers then quickly we will be offered to make a film based on the story.
6. Merchandise related to characters. After the movies there will be made an offer for the sale of goods related to the characters.
7. Sales. With millions of email that we have collected from our readers so we can sell anything to them.
    Each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. 
    Because each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. Then in 10-20 years into the future, AI will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.
So how long do you think my story that I made could gather a thousand readers? Ten thousand readers? One hundred thousand readers? A million readers? Five million readers? Ten million readers? More than ten million readers?
But to get all of it of course takes time, can not be instant. In addition, it takes hard work, big funds and placement of the right people in the right positions.
By advertising, viral marketing, strong marketing strategies and SEO then a million readers can be done in less than a year. Ten million readers can be done in two to three years.
This is the marketing strategy of my startup.
When hundreds of thousands or millions of readers already liked my story then they have to pay to enjoy the story that I made.
If you are a visionary then you will think like this.
With the help of my great name in the world of business, my expertise in marketing, advertising, marketing by mouth, viral marketing, then collecting a million readers to ten million readers will be easy to obtain. Is not that right?
The question now is what if people like my story as they like Harry Potter? You will get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of email addresses from readers. With that much email, we can sell anything to the readers.
Since April 2013, Wikipedia has around 26 million articles in 285 languages are written by 39 million registered users and a variety of anonymous people who are not known from other parts of the world.  Web ranked by Alexa, Wikipedia is a famous website number 6 which has been visited by 12% of all Internet users with 80 million visitors every month and it is only from the calculation of America.

resource : http://www.tahupedia.com/content/show/136/Sejarah-dan-Asal-Mula-Wikipedia

If no Wikipedia then need hundreds of thousands to millions of books required to make 26 million articles in 285 languages into books.

With the Wikipedia then people started to leave to read a book or books to seek knowledge about a subject or many subjects.

The same thing will happen. Read a story in a book or books to be abandoned. Read a story with millions of choices on the web or blog is far more interesting than reading a book or books. 

So what happens next? In 10-20 years ahead then read a story in a book to be abandoned. Otherwise my startup will grow and continue to develop into a new entertainment industry.

New entertainment industry, where I was a forerunner startup will continue to evolve. 
Therefore, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.

So do not delay. Invest your money immediately to my startup. Take A Look. There are so many advantages if you want to invest in my startup.
WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW? .
IF YOU INVEST YOUR FUNDS IN ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, YOU MAY BE TOO LATE.
BECAUSE IN 1-3 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE THEN I'VE GOT THE FUNDS. THE FUNDS CAN COME FROM SOME INVESTORS, LOANS FROM BANKS OR FROM ADVERTISEMENTS POSTED ON MY BLOG.

IF I'VE GOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THEN I'VE NO NEED OF YOUR FUNDS. SO INVEST NOW OR NOT AT ALL.

My BLOG started to be written January 11, 2015. TODAY, MAY 30, 2015, THE NUMBER OF CLICKS HAS REACHED 56,750. SO FAR SO GOOD.

If I get big funds from investors then with a quick story that I wrote will spread throughout the world.

So I got acceleration because I can put ads in a large variety of media such as Google AdWords, Facebook, and others. I also can perform a variety of other marketing strategies.
If I do not get funding from investors then my story would still spread throughout the world. But with a longer time, Slow but sure.

So either I get funding from investors or not, the story that I wrote will remain spread throughout the world. Ha ... 7x

So don't worry, be happy.

My advice to you is you should think whether the data that I have provided to you makes sense or not .
If my data reasonable then immediately invest your funds as soon as possible.

Then we discuss how we plan further cooperation.

Thank you.
Lord Jesus bless you.
Amen
P.S. The offer letter I gave also to the hedge funds and 

venture capital and other major companies 

in the entire 

world. So who is fast then he will get it.


P.P.S. In addition, there is one more thing I 

want to tell you. If a story can generate tens 

of millions of US dollars, then what if made 


many stories? Then why do not you make 2, 3 or many stories? You will get hundreds of million USD annually.
