Bruce Springsteen is writing a book!?


It looks like the Boss is officially getting into the publishing game. He's working on a book called Outlaw Pete, inspired by his 2009 song of the same name. Simon & Schuster is publishing the book, calling it a picture book for "adults that can also be read to children". It should appeal to anyone who likes a good Western. The illustrator on the book will be cartoonist Frank Caruso. It hits shelves November 4th. Can't wait!

Author Greg Foley answers three questions he has always wanted to be asked. I’ve got a great idea for a children’s book – What should I do next?  Like many children’s authors, this is something I get asked all the time. My advice to anyone who wants to write children’s books, is to start with a children’s writing workshop. Doesn’t matter if it’s a weekend course, online or a night class (my fav). It’s where I started, learning the most basic rules and practices. One of the best tips I received was not to share my work with friends and family, because you’ll just get compliments. Instead, as with any craft you should share with other people who are trying to do the same thing. My first book, Thank You Bear , is about the creative journey.
