I talked with Laurie Wallmark today and she received an e-mail today from Fun For Kidz, saying they would like to publish her article titled The Sound of Freedom. That story was written from a first page prompt at the NJSCBWI Writer’s Retreat last year. She is proof that I wasn’t lying when I said earlier in the week, that a lot of these prompts have gone on to publication.
Soon I will be announcing a new feature on this blog. Betsy Devany will be contributing a prompt once a week. We hope that writers who read this blog will challenge themselves to write at least a first page using the prompt. It doesn’t matter whether you think it is good. If not, throw it away. It will help you in the writing process and maybe, just maybe you will develop it into a book or maybe just like it the way it is and submit it to a magazine. That’s what Laurie did.
Here is one of their kids magazine looking for articles.
Magazine for Boys Seeks Fiction, Nonfiction
Boys’ Quest is published six times a year, for boys ages 6-13 (with readers ages 8-10 being the target age). Looking for material that fits the issue’s theme and deals with timeless topics such as pets, nature,hobbies, science, sports, games and careers.
Fiction (about 500 words) should feature lively writing from a 10-year-old boy’s viewpoint, with the boy or boys directly involved in an activity that is both wholesome and unusual.
Nonfiction (200-500 words) that is accompanied by clear photos with high resolution is more likely to be accepted. Also looking for puzzles, poems, cooking, carpentry projects, jokes, and riddles.
Pays a minimum of five cents a word for both fiction and nonfiction, with additional payment given if the piece is accompanied by appropriate photos or art. Pays a minimum of $10 per poem or puzzle, with variable rates offered for games, carpentry projects, etc. Buys first American and serial rights; pays upon publication.Authors can view sample articles at www.funforkidzmagazines.com/samples
This sounds like a great opportunity! I have to tell you, though, that I couldn’t help but have Salazar Slytherin in the back of my head the whole time I was reading! lol Sorry—I’m just SUCH a “Harry Potter” fan (of the books!).
Thanks for the heads up. I tweeted your post.
