Great Round Up of Resources for Children's Writers

One of the things I enjoy about coaching people is providing resources. Sometimes, all someone needs is just that missing bit of information to be able to soar with their book project. Recently, I came across a website that offers way more than a bit of information for children's writers. Logically, it's called Resources for Children's Writers and there's a ton of useful stuff, everything from writing to agents to publishing.

Also, don't forget to take a peek at the rest of her site too. Any time you visit another writer's site, I recommend taking a quick look around. You may find design ideas, things you want to try, things you might want to avoid and, of course, marketing ideas. In general, writers are a bunch that are willing to share and help out so take advantage (in the good sense) whenever you have the opportunity.

More About Boys and Reading

There's been a fair amount of news lately that book sections are being cut from newspapers, so I was happy to see this feature article on Sunday in the Detroit Free Press.

If you write for boys or kids in general, capitalize on this story with your own angle. Pitch your local papers, post a press release online, blog about it etc.
