1 – Page 188 – Cathy C. Hall Writes

Just wanted to leave a quick note here about my Writer Mama book giveaway that’s going on right now over at Cathy C.’s Hall of Fame (AKA my other blog).

Here’s the thing: Christina Katz‘ Writer Mama is not specifically about children’s markets. But it is about how to get your byline out there in all kinds of markets. And you can certainly apply her great tips to tons of children’s markets.

So, hurry over to Finding Something Friday on Feb. 6th at my Hall of Fame and see how you can win a copy of Writer Mama. Hey, if you win, you’ll be filling your own Hall of Fame in no time. (But hurry! I’m only sharing the love till February 20th. )

Even before I signed up to take the Writing for Children’s class at the Institute for Children’s Lit, I used to hang out at the site, reading and dreaming.

The great thing (for a cheap-o like me) is that you don’t have to be a student to read the articles or the ICL e-news. I picked up plenty of writing tips, absolutely free. Eventually, I signed up for the e-news so I wouldn’t miss it. Now, every Thursday, I read every word. This Thursday was a little different.

There in the ICL e-news were my very own words! You can read my article on “Organizing My Writing Life” and get a few free tips for yourself. And who knows? Maybe one day you’ll see your name in the ICL e-news, published in a new market, or at the top of one of those nifty articles.

Dreams can come true, it can happen for you…but only if you keep on writing!
