It is a tough job being a children’s book author, but the heartening news is that the number of young readers in India has increased in the last decade, says much-loved writer Shubhadra Sen Gupta.
‘It is a tough job writing children’s books. You have to be so many things – a storyteller, writer, researcher and good communicator to reach to them,’ Sen Gupta, who has been writing children’s novels and stories for the past 20 years, told IANS.
‘But the heartening news is the number of young readers has increased in the last decade. Marketing phenomena like ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Twilight’ series of books have been bringing children to bookstores, helping them experiment with new children’s literature,’ she said.
Sen Gupta is a former advertising veteran and the creator of the pictorial book version of Satyajit Ray’s famous private eye ‘Feluda’ series.
