For the entire month of September, members of the Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club will receive lessons and assignments (via email) designed to help them break into the children’s magazine markets with a short fictional story.
Last week, we covered the elements needed for a marketable story and club members started studying the magazine markets. This week, each club member will target a specific magazine to write for, then begin writing a short story for this market.
Club members will also have access to a LIVE teleclass with children’s author Margot Finke. The title of her presentation is Writing a MG or YA Masterpiece – Character or Plot Driven. The LIVE teleclass will take place Thursday, September 11, at 2:00 pacific time, but members will also receive a link to a recording of this teleclass just incase they are unable to attend the live class.
Members are also able to submit one complete picture book manuscript, one poem, or one chapter of a short chapter book, middle grade novel, or YA novel, for professional critique each week.
Join the Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club and have fun as you learn all the tricks of the trade of writing for children.
