I had zipped over to the Highlights Magazine website to check on a contributor’s guideline or two when I came across this sentence:

“For more tips and information of interest to writers, visit www.HighlightsFoundation.org.”

Huh. I’d completely missed that little gem of a keeper. So, off I zipped to check it out. And when I clicked on Writer’s Tips, I struck gold! I was having so much fun, I clicked on the second spot that those helpful folks at Highlights suggested: Highlights for Kids!

I get the newsletter delivered to my Inbox and read it every month. Because if you want to write for a magazine, then you should know what that magazine publishes, right? And besides, I love those Hidden Pictures. And I can actually win some of those games.

So, maybe this won’t be the year I make a Highlights conference. But I can take advantage of the writing tips that all those gifted writers have shared over the years. And maybe I’ll strike gold with the next article or craft I send to Highlights.

That would be almost as awesome as finding all the objects in the Hidden Pictures.
