Screenwriter Sergio Casci compiles a set of top tips to help you polish your story and make it even stronger. These include taking time to choose exactly the right words for what you're trying to say, or maybe even inventing new ones. He discusses adding fun and humour to stories, whatever the subject matter. And he recommends making good use of an everyday object, technically known as the "refuse collection receptacle" ... because all good writers know that going back and re-writing your story will make it better and better. Children's authors including Malorie Blackman, David Walliams and David MacPhail share their experiences and advice.
