Reviewing & Critiquing Children's Books: An Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) interview with Neni Sta. Romana Cruz
Neni is a children's book reviewer, a children's book author, a journalist, an educator, a PBBY member, Sa Aklat Sisikat
trustee, and Advisory Board member of SCBWI Philasia.
What's with book reviews? Where do they belong in the scheme of things? What's a good book review? A bad one? Do book
reviews help at all? How? What about critiques, what's the difference? Do they help, can they also do harm, and how? What are some of the good and bad practices in book reviews? How should children's writers and illustrators treat good or bad reviews of their books?
These are just some of the questions we might ask Neni on Monday, June 16. See you there!
