This blog will be a collaborative adventure for writers and illustrators of children’s literature. Here we can post short articles to help one another learn more about creating literature for children.

The blog will be open to all children’s writers and illustrators who want to contribute.

Please read carefully before submitting your articles:

1. This is a collaborative blogging project for writers and illustrators of children’s literature. You don’t need to be published to contribute an article, but you need to have an understanding of children’s literature and be able to share something of value on this topic.

2. You will be placing your articles in the blog yourself, after having your user registration approved.

3. The site administrator will read and approve your articles, or email you regarding edits.

4. Articles should be at least 500 words long.

5. At the bottom of each article you can mention your sites/blogs/books, etc., and link to them. Each article should have a brief ‘about the author’ section at the bottom.

Literature For Kids will help you find and/or form a critique group. Each group will have no more than ten members. If you want to be part of a critique group, leave a message here with information about what types of children’s literature you write. As people are assigned to critique groups, their comments to this message will be deleted.

Critique groups will meet online using private phpBB message boards, provided here at the Literature For Kids website. There is no cost for this service.
