Writing for Children SNIPS AND SNAPS WRITING TIPS ON WRITING FOR CHILDREN titles word choice description beginnings ... weedy words WRITING FOR CHILDREN- TITLES: Keep your titles short and snappy. I have learned this one the hard way! People seem to have great difficulty remembering my longer titles, but no problem remembering the shorter ones. A good general rule is to keep your titles from one to three words, no more than five. Catchy sounds- In creating your titles, try playing with poetic devises like alliteration and rhyme. Of my own book titles, I think my favorite is MONSTER MANNERS because the alliteration makes it fun to say. Use verbs- Another way to make a title lively is to use an active verb in it. I did that with FOLLOW ME! Reflect the theme - a good title, however short and catchy, gives us a hint of what the story is about. Hook your reader - The title is your first chance to grab the attention of a reader- or of an editor.

19. Writing For Children's Magazines By Donna Freedman writing for children s Magazines. by Donna Freedman. writing for children Today. You need to put aside any preconceived notions about childhood. http://www.underdown.org/magazines.htm

Home page More useful articles Search for more information Purple Crayon Bookstores Writing for Children's Magazines by Donna Freedman (Revised and expanded version of an aricle orginally published in Children's Writer , a publication of the Institute for Children's Literature) Not everyone can write for kids, but everyone should want to: Children's magazines can be a lucrative market. I've been paid as much as $1,000 for a 350-word article. You don't have to have children, or even like them, to do this kind of writing - a childless, kid-hating friend of mine earned $1,100 on just two articles for juvenile magazines. And there are hundreds of freelance opportunities out there, from Sunday-school papers to glitzy, high-tech skateboard 'zines. The market has grown noticeably in recent years. In 1985, the Institute for Children's Literature identified 354 freelance markets. More recently, ICL listed nearly 600 such markets. Writing for kids isn't easy, of course. You have a tiny space in which to pack as much information as you can. You have to write in language they can understand. And you need fabulous ideas that will grab the attention of youngsters who are increasingly distracted by CD-ROM, cable television, and other competing media. Non-fiction: Where the Action Is Although many writers want to create enduring children's fiction, they're a lot more likely to sell a non-fiction piece. Juvenile magazines do publish a fair amount of short stories, but they're generally outnumbered by articles and activities. And an increasing number of magazines focus on non-fiction topics like science, nature and technology. "Where the sales are, where the interest is, is non-fiction," says Susan Tierney, editor of the industry newsletter

Contact Cyn Writing Books for Children and Teenagers Brain Food Reading and Writing Living and Writing Journaling ... Reading List Thinking about writing for children? Here are the easy answers: (1) yes, it's as hard as writing for adults; (2) no, the market is not good and hasn't been since the 80s (in fact, it's worse in the 00's than it was when I got started seven years ago); (3) no, you probably won't make a lot of money, even if you do sell a book; (4) no, selling a first book is no guarantee of a second just like selling a second is no guarantee of selling a third and so on. (5) no, I wouldn't want to do anything else. Still with me? Good. Now, we can talk. This is more of a collection of thoughts than an essay, and I'll add to it now and then. 06/20/02 Update A stunning thing has happened. Since I first put together these pages in 1997, I have become not-a-beginner. I'm now working on my fourth book. My first one has been released, my second is slated for this spring, and my third is in production.
