How do kids get published?
From time to time, readers will ask how they, too, can become published writers. A good place to begin is a book called The Young Writer's Guide to Getting Published by Kathy Henderson. I found a copy in my local library. It is also available from Amazon. com. The book contains information on how to prepare manuscripts for submission and over 100 markets that accept kids' writing.
Another good resource is your local library. Ask the children's librarian where you can get your writing published. Look over publications by kids to see which ones best fit your writing.
Don't overlook web sources. A good place to begin is: http://www.scils.rutgers.edu/~kvander/childpublishing.html
This site lists markets for kids' writing. Also check out: http://www.stonesoup.com/
Good luck, writers!
