Call for Submissions We're needing articles for Writing for Children's Magazines. If you have the time and an idea, I encourage you to develop it and send it my way. I will also consider reprints, if you have the rights; just include where the piece was originally published. Submission guidelines are here. With the new year, I'll probably need to switch the ezine's publication schedule to quarterly, instead of bi-monthly, if I don't have more submissions.

Blog Series If you're wanting to try to get a first non-fiction piece published in a children's magazine, Nancy Sanders (author of the book, Yes! You Can Learn How to Write Children's Books, Get Them Published, and Build a Successful Writing Career) has been doing a helpful blog series entitled "Nonfiction for Children's Magazines," in which she invites you to go through the steps with her to prepare and write a NF piece for a children's magazine. It's sort of like a free mini online writing workshop.
