COLUMN TOPICS:
Gifted young writers? Query or finish mss? - by Lee
Wardlaw
Thanks to Karen Krzyzewski, Melissa Olson, and some other
subscribers for
helping me sort out some strange formatting problems I had with
the last
issue. For some reason the horizontal "===" were coming out as
"3D=3D=" for
some subscribers. I think I've fixed the problem by saving text
in Unix
instead of Mac format in BBEdit. If any of you continue to get
strangely-formatted issues, please let me know.
The next issue of Inklings may be a little late. My husband and I
are going
up to our cottage in Algonquin Park for about a week for the
annual
"ice-out" (when the last of the ice disappears off the lake), and
we're not
taking our computers with us!

THIS ISSUE'S QUOTE:
"Close the door. Write with _no one_ looking over your shoulder.
Don't
try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure
out
what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to
offer."
- Barbara
Kingsolver

INTERVIEW WITH LIZANN FLATT: FORMER EDITOR OF CHICKADEE MAGAZINE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Lizann Flatt <lflatt@muskoka.com> worked six and half years
at Chickadee,
over three years as Editor (during which time the magazine won
several
awards). At present, she is doing some freelance book editing and
magazine
writing, working on a new series of books, and promoting an air
show in
Muskoka (http://www.muskoka.com/airshow/index.html).
How many manuscripts did you get a week?
----------------------------------------
On average, as little as 20 or as many as 100--it seemed to go in
cycles.
We always seemed to be flooded in the fall and in the spring. We
read them
about once a month or sometimes every 6 weeks. When the bin was
full it was
time to get reading--that's a lot of reading at once! I usually
devoted a
day to it. You get good at knowing within the first couple
paragraphs if
it's worth your time to read more. I don't want to sound
heartless, it's a
fact of time management. An inappropriate manuscript is obvious
very
quickly whether for content reasons or for style reasons.
What kind of manuscripts did you like/not like getting?
-------------------------------------------------------
I loved getting manuscripts that were well written, unique,
entertaining,
and neat. I enjoyed those ms's from authors that had obviously
studied my
magazine.
I didn't like getting messy, shoved-in-envelopes manuscripts, and
nor did I
like getting ms's that did exactly what our guidelines said we
weren't
interested in seeing. These were a waste of my time and the
writers'
postage. Sometimes I'd get a 20 page manuscript--how was that
supposed to
fit in a 32 page magazine that only had 4 pages to devote to a
fiction
story?
What was the best/worst part of your job?
-----------------------------------------
I loved discovering a story or craft or poem or puzzle or
whatever in the
slush pile. I loved to work on editing the piece and then seeing
it
illustrated and then finally seeing it published for all my
readers (and
the author!) to enjoy.
I really enjoyed working with writers, and I especially enjoyed
seeing
their skills develop with each new accepted/published manuscript.
I loved
to receive a package from a writer I'd worked with before because
it was
such a thrill to "see what they'd come up with this time."
The worst part is having to reject manuscripts, especially after
a few
rewrites that didn't work out. I also didn't like dealing with
irate
parents who demanded to know why their kid's picture wasn't
published when
it was 10,000 times better than all the other pictures we did
publish. The
business side of being an editor isn't all that much fun
either--worrying
about staying on budget, managing your staff, other
administrative details.
What advice do you have for writers trying to break into the
children's
magazine market?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
------
Read, read, read. Read the magazines you want to write for, and
if it's
possible, read a year's worth of their back issues to get a sense
of the
magazine's parameters. Read their writers' guidelines then try to
see how
their philosophical or mission statements translate into the
printed
product. "Obey" the guidelines. Pay attention to style or
approach to
content: is it serious, playful, savvy, or educational? Be sure
you're
comfortable writing this way. Don't write an essay and don't
regurgitate
facts--have an angle, a unique way to approach your subject
matter. Be sure
you understand the age group the magazine is aimed at. Join a
group like
CANSCAIP or SCBWI for their market listings, articles, and
industry
trends--and of course, visit Inkspot and other children's writing
sources
on the internet. Read other children's writers publications such
as
"Children's Writer" and "Once Upon A Time".

ASK THE CHILDREN'S BOOK AUTHOR
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------
by Lee Wardlaw
<Katknip2@aol.com>
Gifted young writers
--------------------
Q: My nine-year-old daughter has written several wonderful garden
stories and
poems. With the right illustrations, I think other children would
love
reading them. How do I go about getting these published? Who
reads
manuscripts written by children?
A: Your best bet would be to look in the latest edition of the
MARKET GUIDE
FOR YOUNG WRITERS by Kathy Henderson. This reference book lists
all the
magazines, book publishers and contests that are actively seeking
manuscripts
(poems, stories, plays, articles, scripts, etc.) written by
children. It
also offers valuable tips on the proper way to prepare and submit
a
manuscript, how to deal with criticism and rejection, how to
copyright
material, and more. Keep in mind that most of these markets pay
very little
- - if at all. However, if your daughter is persistent in
writing, revising,
and submitting her work, she may receive the ultimate payment of
all: seeing
her stories in print.
Query or finish book?
---------------------
Q: I'm writing a children's historical fiction book. I have the
first three
chapters done. Should I query a publisher now or wait until I've
finished the
whole book?
A: I recommend waiting until the entire manuscript is completed,
especially
if this is your first book. Editors rarely buy manuscripts from
new authors
solely on the strength of a few chapters; they're going to want
to see if you
can carry the characterization, theme, plot, etc., throughout the
entire
story. So there's really no advantage to submitting the book
now.
Also, as you continue writing, you may find that your plot and
characters
change significantly, making it necessary to go back and
revise/improve those
opening chapters.
If, on the other hand, you've published historical fiction
before, it is
perfectly acceptable to submit sample chapters and a three-page
synopsis of
your novel to an editor. -L.W.
==-----------------------------------------------------==
Lee Wardlaw is the author of 16 books for young readers, ranging
from
picture books to young adult novels. Titles include THE TALES OF
GRANDPA
CAT (illustrated by Ronald Searle) and SEVENTH-GRADE WEIRDO. 101
WAYS TO
BUG YOUR PARENTS (middle grade novel) and THE GHOUL BROTHERS
(first chapter
book) will be released this fall.

WRITERS' POLL RESULTS: What are your writing habits?
=====================
As might be expected, subscriber writing habits varied widely,
from a
highly disciplined daily routine to "I write when I feel like
it."
Some have a set writing time at their desks at their work, while
others
write in their heads while doing dishes, on the way to work, etc.
Many set goals of number of hours (or minutes!), words, or pages
a day.
"I am learning that any routine is better than no routine at
all."
says one subscriber. Most seemed to share this sentiment.
After looking through subscriber answers to this poll, you will
never
again be able to say, "I never have the time to write". I was
amazed
at the number of creative ways people found time to write.
One subscriber, for example, writes:
"I work full time and have two small children--a recipe for
disaster by
most standards--but I have learned to find time to work on my
novel. I
write a few days a week, a few hours at each setting. My weekly
goal is
simply to produce a couple of pages. Of anything. I do not, under
any
circumstances require them to be good. Then, every couple of
weeks I edit
what I've written, take some time out from writing to read
relevant books,
articles, etc. I have found that such low goals (a couple of
pages per
week), and variation of activity, reduce stress on those non-
productive
days. I've also stopped having writer's block altogether and
therefore I am
producing more than before. As for where I write....Believe it or
not, I
write at the family computer in the living room with kids, the TV
and
whatever else blaring in the background! Perhaps this is from my
newspaper
background where you write on a deadline and you deal with
distractions,
but I think anyone can learn to write under any circumstances if
it is
important for them to do so. If I believed I needed a room of my
own, I'd
be waiting quite a long time to complete my first novel! So, to
all of you
bellyachers that can't find time or peace and quiet to write, get
over it!
What are you waiting for? Just do it...(sorry nike)."

"FIRST SALE" STORIES
====================
Thanks to those who sent me "first sale" stories. I will be using
them

Alexander Andrews <LRKR89A@prodigy.com>:
---------------------------------------
"The first professional sale of my writing career occurred my
second
year. I'd hit the marketing side hard and flooded the U.S.
Postal
Service with queries, queries, and queries. I landed an
assignment
from a major horse magazine concerning security work with horses.
Happily I wrote, rewrote, and sent the article off. A one
hundred
dollar check arrived from the publisher. It was a kill fee.
Gee, I
was getting paid to not be published. Be that as it may, I still
write, rewrite, market and submit. Professional sales have
increased
and assignments are easier to land with a published history.
Through
it all, I still haven't figured out how I can continue to be paid
for
not being published!"
