Update on the Showcase

The first showcase of selected writing from KidsWrite4Kids will be a slim volume. Eight or nine writers will represent the variety of work that has appeared on the site since its launch. I expect this project to be complete early in July. Thanks in advance for your patience.

As I work on this and think about the future, my vision for the showcase has been changing. Instead of thinking of this as a stand-alone book, I have decided that it will be a periodical, a literary journal by and for kids. Send any ideas for a name for such a journal to me at storymaker@aol.com.

In the meantime, I have been seeing lots of good work coming in for the next edition of the showcaes, which will be published sometime in the fall.

PLEASE NOTE: From June 1, 2009, publishing work on Kids Write 4 Kids assumes permission for the work to be used in a showcase, unless we are contacted to the contrary.

Permissions for Showcase Book

Just a reminder: If we sent you an email asking permission to publish selections of your work from KidsWrite4Kids, don't forget the deadline is June 25, 2009.

We will begin putting the book together very, very soon. Please don't delay if you want your work to appear in it.

The Showcase Book Is Coming!

We have started putting together the best stories and poems from KidsWrite4Kids! Look for this showcase collection at the end of the month. If there are delays, we will let you know in this space.

In the meantime, keep all the good writing by kids coming to the site. Kids, do your best writing. Adults, continue to encourage and help your young writers!

All writing published on KidsWrite4Kids after June 1, 2009, will be considered for a second showcase collection to be published in the fall.

Both showcase collections will be published in downloadable and print-on-demand format.
