| Writing For Kids: The Author/Illustrator Relationship |
|
mcalvani writes "By Mayra Calvani
For most authors, working with an illustrator for a picture book can be a thrilling yet stressful experience. Having created the imaginary world in their stories, authors often wonder whether or not the artist will be able to grasp the essence of the setting and characters—not only physically, but tone-wise as well. After all, it is up to the artist to bring the story visually to life. Sometimes the artist may have a different idea for the artwork than the author, and this can create problems."

I get many emails from disgruntled writers who can't get past their anger to figure out why their work was turned down in the first place. So before you spend hours sticking pins in your editor voodoo doll, see if you recognize yourself below.

| Writing For Kids: Writing Children's Songs |
|
By Kathryn Obenshain
Today, the biggest market for popular groups is with preteens, so most "children's songs" are intended for children younger than 10 years old. Exceptions are songs and anthems for children's choirs (up to age 12-14) and songs included in musical plays for elementary schools. The most obvious differece in writing for children, rather than adults, is in the TEXT.

|
By Cindy Lee Haddock
Writing some music for a local children’s school play, submitting songs to a children’s textbook company for consideration, or just writing songs to keep your babysitting charges amused are all fun ways to use your songwriting skills, and may even prove to be a money-making idea for you.
