Sorry if the title seemed a little vague.
But in terms of how they are written, what is the main difference between writing a picture book and an easy reader? I heard from several places now a pictures book sometimes has page breaks. It sounds slightly similar to comic scripts.
I seemed to have stumbled on writing easy readers by accident when writing my latest short story. (It's technically middle grade, but it has that sort of easy reader feel. Like a really dark picture book, instead of a normal middle grade.)
But then I may have to take some major rethinking of my plot. (I assume you can't really justify losing wings by amputation, and having robotic ones that speak in verse replacing them, though I could be incorrect.)
I might check it out Neil Gaiman who was mentioned before. Must be the only one who hasn't read him, but I've heard he's a genius. I want to check out that one picture book with the wolf in the wall.
