Overview Chapter Books and Early Readers: Part Four: Contemporary Literature
Workshop: An Introduction to Writing for Children and Young Adults
Now that you’ve researched and studied this
category, where to go next? This recent article in PW by Shannon Maughan, which
I just discovered, shows there is a growing demand across a broad range of
publishers and interests.
Action Steps:
1.
Read
the linked article and make a list of the publishers named who are actively seeking
content, or publishing new early readers.
2.
Go
to their websites and check their submission requirements.
3.
Prepare
two or three cover letters presenting your book or series idea that you think
would fit their list. Or if you don’t feel ready to do that prepare a draft
one-sheet for yourself.
4.
Write
down that outline for yourself. :)
Next month’s overview will discuss markets
and submissions in more detail.
Share: What in this PW article do you
find most hopeful for your own writing goals?
Read deep, marcy
