84. Author Profile Of Lee Weatherly Children s author, Lee Weatherly, talks about herself and her writing. I ve always had a deep love for children s fiction once you re hooked on it, http://www.wordpool.co.uk/ap/weatherly.htm

Lee Weatherly How many books have you had published? I have one book that's actually on the shelves, and two others that have been sold: Child X , published June 2002 (David Fickling Books, Random House) Alex Deftblade - first of a fantasy trilogy called The Stone Spiral - to be published November 2003 (David Fickling Books, Random House) Work in progress: Gone , to be published 2004 by David Fickling Books, Random House After Gone , I'll start work on the sequel to Alex. I plan to stagger my fantasy work with my 'real-life' fiction. Did you write for fun when you were at school? Always! Writing has been an important part of my life for almost literally as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by books, and wanted to create my own from an early age. One of my first memories, in fact, is of being four or five and writing and drawing my own picture book, about a fox and a horse. As I recall, the fox saved the horse from being sent off to the glue factory at the end, so you can see that even then, my stories were delightfully upbeat. Then as a teenager, I'd write extremely tongue in cheek (a polite way of saying it) stories about all of our acquaintances and teachers, and pass out copies to all of my friends, who thought they were hysterically funny. Looking back, I suppose I'm lucky not to have been found out and expelled!

Subscribe to our FREE NEWSLETTER! sub unsub HOME GETTING STARTED AUTHOR'S BOOKSHELF WRITERS WANTED ... Contact Us Rita Milios, MSW ( rita "at" milios.net ) is a freelance writer and editor of over two dozen books and numerous magazine articles for children in grades K-8, for publishers including MacMillan, Prentice Hall, Harcourt Educational, Rosen and others. A former writing instructor for Long Ridge Writer's Group (a division of The Institute of Children's Literature), Rita has critiqued both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, and yes, a few were "cute bunny" stories. Five Reasons to Write Nonfiction for Children by Rita Milios Most children's writers, it seems, are writing fiction. There's something about cute bunny stories, rhyming text and talking animals that many children's writers find irresistible. Alas, few children's editors agree. Finding a home for that cute bunny story may be almost as difficult as, well, finding a real talking animal. On the other hand, publishers of children's nonfiction are often desperate for good manuscripts from talented writers. I'd never suggest that a children's fiction writer turn to nonfiction simply because there's more market potential. But I would suggest that if you can adjust your creative flow to include researching and writing interesting nonfiction pieces that children will enjoy, you might just see your name in print more often and your bank account filled with a few more bucks. Here are some practical reasons why you might want to consider nonfiction:
