knowonder | Cathy C. Hall Writes

1. If you haven’t commented yet to win a copy of the super adorable picture book, The Smiley Book of Colors, go here now and find out more!

2. Do you know about my friend’s search for wonderful family stories? Linda O’Connell is editing a Publishing Syndicate’s anthology: Not Your Mother’s Book…on Family. You can find out all the details here (plus a little something about Anne Lamott who’s written a book with her son, Sam).

3. Knowonder magazine is now paying $25 to $50 for stories and/or articles. They’ll be back June 1st, but they’re accepting submissions now. Go here to find out how you can get your story in the next issue!

4. Come back here tomorrow to read what author, Lisa de Nikolits (West of WaWa), has to share about “What To Do When Your Publisher Closes Shop.” Besides cry, I mean.

And speaking of what to do, if you finish this To Do List today, just imagine what all you’ll accomplish. It’s mind-boggling (not to mention potentially lucrative).

knowonder! is an online magazine for children where young readers can find a story every day. Yep, every single day.

That’s a lot of content. So the editor needs lots of stories. And according to the email I just received, knowonder! will now be paying for stories! Oh, frabjous day!

It just so happens that I have quite a few stories. And it also happens that I enjoy being paid for the use of my stories. Of course, I also like kids to read my stories. So really, it’s a win-win-win at knowonder!

I’ll bet you have a story or two, also. Find out how to submit your splendiferous stories here. But first, you might want to peruse the stories and website to get a feel for this children’s market. I liked them on Facebook, to keep up with knowonder!.

Hey, don’t act like there’s not a seven-year-old reader in you, waiting for your story a day.
