RESOURCES FOR YOUNG WRITERS I developed this resource page as part of my Fun with Fiction
program for elementary and middle grade schools.
program for elementary and middle grade schools.
Some of the sites listed contain helpful tips and advice for young
writers, others, like the magazine, Stone Soup, offer cash payment
for stories and illustrations by young writers.
IMPORTANT: Before submitting any work, please make
sure you understand what (if any) payment to expect, and
in particular, what (if any) rights you’ll be giving up should
your work be accepted.
If you know of any reputable print or online publications which
actively encourage submissions from writers aged 16 or younger,
please let me know (jon@acatofninetales.com), and I'll add them
to the list.
WISDOM ON THE WEB
There's a wealth of terrific information about writing to be
found on the internet. Succesful writers, agents and editors
share their knowledge and experience online, for free.
Every Friday, I post links to some of my favorites from the
previous week.

Back in England, I was lead singer in a rock band
called, Gentleman Jones. We were very much a legend in our own lunchtime, but we had a lot of fun during our 17-year attempt to dominate the music world.
