SUMMARY:Writing for Children's Magazines: A Pathway to Book Publication
DESCRIPTION:Open to all. \n\n\n\nLimited to 12 participants. \n\n\n\nWe plan to hold this workshop in person at the QWF office\, with up to two virtual slots available for people who are unable to come to our office. If public health conditions necessitate it\, this workshop may transition to a purely online model. \n\n\n\nAnne Renaud credits children’s magazines for helping her hone her writing skills and\, more importantly\, for keeping her from giving up on her dream of becoming a children’s writer. More than 200 of Anne’s non-fiction articles\, poems\, craft projects\, and fiction stories have been published in Canadian\, American\, and Australian children’s magazines\, including Spider\, Cricket\, Hopscotch\, Fun for Kidz\, Odyssey\, Faces\, Clubhouse\, and Highlights for Children.  \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, Anne shares her tips on how writers can break into this market.  This two-and-a-half hour Powerpoint presentation/workshop will include some writing exercises. \n\n\n\nHandouts will be distributed. Participants are also encouraged to send Anne specific questions they would like answered prior to the workshop date (send your questions to riley@qwf.org\, with “Question for Anne Renaud” in the subject line). \n\n\n\nAnne Renaud is an award-winning children’s author who writes in both French and English. Her publications feature picture books for four-to-eight-year-olds and historical non-fiction books for nine- to-twelve-year-olds. Her picture-book biographies include Ferdinand Cheval: The Postman who Delivered a Palace; The True Tale of a Giantess: The Story of Anna Swan; The Boy Who Invented the Popsicle: The Cool Science Behind Frank Epperson’s Famous Frozen Treat; and Mr. Crum’s Potato Predicament\, which won the 2018 QWF Prize for Children’s and YoungAdult Literature. Anne is also a regular contributor to children’s magazines\, such as Highlights\, Pockets\, Cricket\, Orbit\, Spider\,and Faces.  \n\n\n\nAdditional information on Anne’s publications can be found on her website at http://annerenaud.net/ \n\n\n\nYou can also find Anne on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064131728787
