There is nothing more fun than writing short articles for kids and sending them off to potential publishers. It is fun and rewarding, and it doesn’t take a lot of time to achieve. During this workshop, I will try to instill this love of writing for kids that I have developed in each of you so that you won’t ever want to stop.
Writing for kids is literally like a breath of fresh air. It is fun and rewarding to write for kids. You can decide whether you teach or inspire kids in your articles. I will show you the difference in this workshop, and how you can decide which type of articles to write.
There is quite a market for children’s articles. These articles are usually no more than 500 words each and many of them are around 300 words or so. I will show you how to look up writer’s guidelines for each magazine that you plan to write for and to decide what kind of article to write.
So, be prepared to be informed, inspired and transported into the world of a children and writing for these bright and hopeful minds.
