8. Writing For Children writing for children. Make 'Em Laugh Using Humor http://members.tripod.com/~awriters/cbi.htm

Writing for Children Make 'Em Laugh Using Humor by Laura Backes [Children's Book Insider] 1744 was a good year for children's literature. John Newbery produced "A Little Pretty Pocket-Book," the first book written exclusively for children. It was also about this time that Mother Goose arrived on the scene with her now famous nursery rhymes. But these first examples of writing for children were more didactic than entertaining. They were based on adults' assumptions of what childhood should be like, and were meant educate or impart a moral lesson. Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865, is often cited as the first example of nonsense in a children's book (though it contains plenty of morals), and Mark Twain's subtly humorous take on the nature of mankind caused his books to be banned in schools for many years. Fortunately, editors, parents and teachers have come to realize the importance of humor in children's literature (thanks largely to Dr. Seuss), and children's books in the last 45 years have reflected this change. Childhood is now seen as a stage of development in its own right, not just a training ground for adulthood. Books can make children dream, think, and laugh without having to teach them a lesson on every page. Child development experts generally break humor into four categories: physical humor; humor of situation; humor involving play of language; humor of character. The order of this grouping suggests that the first two categories are less sophisticated than the last two. But all four can be used in children's books for all ages. The most successful children's books lead the reader through the steps of the joke. It's the punch line that's important; the more subtle and sophisticated the joke, the older the reader.

To help make the site self-supporting, I have created links to online bookstores at appropriate places throughout the site. I hope you will find them helpful. If you use them, you will also be helping this site. I have also created a page of recommended online bookstores . Please use it to speed your online shopping, at no cost to you. Writing for Children's Magazines by Donna Freedman (Revised and expanded version of an aricle orginally published in Children's Writer , a publication of the Institute for Children's Literature) Not everyone can write for kids, but everyone should want to: Children's magazines can be a lucrative market. I've been paid as much as $1,000 for a 350-word article. You don't have to have children, or even like them, to do this kind of writing - a childless, kid-hating friend of mine earned $1,100 on just two articles for juvenile magazines. And there are hundreds of freelance opportunities out there, from Sunday-school papers to glitzy, high-tech skateboard 'zines. The market has grown noticeably in recent years. In 1985, the Institute for Children's Literature identified 354 freelance markets. More recently, ICL listed nearly 600 such markets. Writing for kids isn't easy, of course. You have a tiny space in which to pack as much information as you can. You have to write in language they can understand. And you need fabulous ideas that will grab the attention of youngsters who are increasingly distracted by CD-ROM, cable television, and other competing media.

We select sites with some consideration and thought for usefulness, depth, interest and je ne sais quoi and we try not to offer fifty different links to "manuscript submission." Sometimes we find a really cool site on a subject we already cover and mull over which link to keep and which to set free, sometimes we keep both and add a third. We lean toward linking to cool sites maintained by people we've met in the ether, but don't use a friend's site if there's a better site elsewhere. We don't link to just anybody and seldom link to commercial sites such as "Learn to Write in Five Days" or "We Will Publish Your Book" unless there is some no, make that a lot of free, useful content. We try to stay away from scammers and frauds; if you see links to what you think are questionable sites, drop us a line. We may or may not agree with you. Whether links are here or not is totally based on how we were feeling before our morning cup of espresso.

All rights reserved. Writing for Children is a unique public-private partnership between St. Joseph Montessori School (SJMS) and Second Avenue Elementary School. Since 1997, the conference has promoted both schools by inviting members of the wider community to participate in quality educational programming for children's writing. Proceeds from the conference benefit the neighboring community, both schools and the write place , a writer's resource center located in the SJMS library. In 2003, families in the neighboring community will be treated to a storytelling hour at SJMS featuring Sally Crandall. The schools used funds from previous conferences for a 2001 summer journalism camp at SJMS and student summer and fall writing camps in 2001 at Second Avenue. Proceeds were used for a visit to SJMS by an actor portraying Harriet Tubman, as well as a visit to SJMS by award-winning author and storyteller, Rafe Martin. Authors Shonto Begay, Sharon Mills Draper and 2002 Newbery Medal winner Linda Sue Park visited both schools last year. The write place offers work space to writers, sponsors a writers group, lecture series and public entertainment, and subsidizes summer writing camps for kids. Weekly classes for both adults and children, and educational opportunities for students of both schools also are available. Visit
