While I'm enjoying the view of the Atlantic Ocean from the balcony of a nice, cool, air conditioned condo, and the company of my grandchildren you can enjoy a little research on writing rebus stories. Remember:Read tons of rebus stories in children's magazines Follow these links to get specifics about writing rebus stories Write a few for practice Get a critique partner to check them

I don’t know about you, but I learn best when I can talk to other people about the subject I’m studying.
Many other people do, too, which is why I created the Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club.
In addition to a listserv for members - where we can all email each other online any time we have something to discuss - we also have LIVE teleclasses several times a month.
Plus, LIVE critique sessions.
And, I also email short tele-tips (which are audio clips that offer tips about some aspect of children’s writing) to club members several times each month.
I find that sometimes it’s just much easier to help club members verbally that it is to write out everything in an email.
For example, I just created a tele-tip called Tips for Writing Nonfiction Articles for Children’s Magazines. Club members can listen to the tele-tips clip and they will also receive a tips sheet that includes the tips given in the audio clip.
But the overall purpose of the Children’s Writers’ Coaching Club is to help children’s writers get in the habit of submitting a marketable manuscript to children’s publishers at LEAST once a month - but preferably more often than that.
This month, club members are working on writing a rebus story for kids!
Come join the fun!
