Welcome to the first episode of Writing for Children, a show focusing on the craft of writing for children. We'll have tips and links to great resources for children’s writers, whether you write for pre-k, mg, teens, books or magazines.
The weekly downloadable transcripts are included in the show notes and have extra tips and links! There's a weekly Q&A, and if your question is featured on the show, you’ll get a gift!

This week's listener question comes from Shauna, who asks, "I'm just starting out in this process and feel I have some great ideas, but just don't know where to start in the whole publishing thing. What is the first step to getting published, other than the writing itself?"
One of the Institute of Children's Literature faculty answers.
We also cover nine critique group tips and links to hot resources and info-packed sites for children's writers.
