STORIES FOR CHILDREN MAGAZINE Discontinued I received the following sad news in an email from Virginia Grenier: "As of September 1, 2012, SFC Publishing, LLC will be closing the doors to future issues of Stories for Children Magazine. We had hoped for a gradual process of retiring Stories for Children Magazine, however reasons beyond our control have caused us to close sooner than expected. Our online community and website will stay active with Featured Guest interviews from new and unknown authors/illustrators; along with sharing a past title from one of our issues on the site each month. We also plan on producing a few anthologies from the best titles of Stories for Children Magazine in coming months/years and announcing Granny Award Winners from our past volume years. The final issue, Stories for Children Magazine 2012 Back-to-School Vol. 5 Issue 3, will be published in September 2012. Stories for Children Magazine will continue to be sold through LuLu's online bookstore, SFCmagazine.com and online where available." Writing for Children's Magazines, October 2012
