March 16, 2005 Writing Newsletter Articles For or About Children By Natalie Hale printable version There are many advantages to writing with children in mind. For one, they and those who assist them, are often seeking advice. Parents, especially of young children, are usually very inexperienced when it comes to caring for a family. What should they look for in a good family doctor? What activities, books, magazines, or music will best entertain and educate the very young? And where can potential writers of children's fiction go to get help honing their talent to meet the needs of grade-schoolers? An excellent place to delve into this market is by submitting to newsletters. There are many such publications geared to writing for children, family issues, or just for helping out other writers of family-friendly literature. Newsletters are a relatively inexpensive, yet often widely circulated form of periodical. They give you the chance to get published, build a track record, and expand your portfolio, while making a profit as well. Editors, especially of newer publications, are readily looking for content. They want a piece that is informative and worthy of their readership, and a piece that meets their publication's editorial style. As long as a writer can offer what they need, that writer will be in demand. Newsletters are also great for the photography-challenged. Many magazines require articles be submitted with original photos. With newsletters, all they need is your written words. No pictures; just words.

The Craft Craft Index Writing for Children Introduction In recent years, books written for children such as Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series have been enormously successful and their appeal has spread far beyond their target audience, with special 'adult' editions being sold alongside the regular versions. But there is a common misconception that writing for children is much easier than writing for adults - not so, and as author Diana Wynne Jones Howl's Moving Castle The Merlin Conspiracy Castle in the Air ) explains, children can be a far more exacting audience. This session includes: Picking the right story Discovering what interests younger readers Creating characters who will appeal to children How to avoid patronising your readers What Makes a Children's Book? The key element to any good children's book is the story - it's is the single most important thing. No child is going to read a book that doesn't have a bold, fast-moving story with a clear course of action that comes to a satisfactory conclusion without too many dangling ends. Any mystery has to be solved; any goals should be achieved; and most characters have to be given what they deserve. You cannot start to write a book for children unless you have in your head at least the sketch of such a story.

Aaltonen, Ulla Maija Amnell, Anna Bagge, Tapani Berkan, Raimo ... Zilliacus, Berndt S UOMEN NUORISOKIRJAILIJAT RY on perustettu 8. lokakuuta 1946. Vuonna 1997 yhdistykseen kuuluu puolisentoistasataa jäsentä, jotka edustavat nuorisokirjallisuutemme koko kirjoa. Yhdistys toimii alan kirjailijoiden valtakunnallisena yhdyssiteenä. Yhdistyksen näkyvimpiä toimintamuotoja on perustamisesta lähtien ollut lasten ja nuorten lukemisen kehittäminen ja sen edistämiseen tähtäävä palkinto- ja julkaisutoiminta. Yhdistyksen vanhin palkinto on 1946 perustettu Topelius-palkinto, joka jaetaan vuosittain parhaasta nuorisoromaanista. Perustajajäsen Arvid Lydeckenin nimeä kantava palkinto jaetaan vuosittain parhaasta lastenkirjasta. Samassa yhteydessä luovutetaan myös kunniakirja korkeatasoisen nuorisokirjan kääntämisestä/kustantamisesta sekä Lasten Oman Kirjakerhon tukema Suomalainen kuvakirjapalkinto kotimaiselle kuvakirjalle. Lisäksi jaetaan joka toinen vuosi varhaisen lastenlehtemme nimeä kantava Pääskynen-kunniakirja ansioituneelle lastenkulttuurin tunnetuksi tekijälle tai tutkijalle. Yhdistyksen julkaisuja ovat mm. kirjailijan työtä kuvaava teos "Rivien välistä - miten kirjani ovat syntyneet" sekä "Kotimaisia lasten- ja nuortenkirjailijoita", joka esittelee yhdistyksen jäseniä.
