Received a contract last week for "Two Young Frogs: An Old Japanese Tale." (Post of 10/17) Those frogs will appear in Highlights someday. Perhaps mentioning map skills did help.
A critique group chats about writing for children. Join the conversation!
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I just hope I don't have to wait five years to see them in print!
DeleteCongratulations! I'd love to read this one. I hope it's not five years too!
ReplyDeleteIt easily could be as long. They've bought four other pieces from me and one sale dates back to 2006!
DeleteCongratulations Gale! Love the pic above. And let us know if you hear more about whether the map skills, i.e., Common Core was a factor...
ReplyDeleteSuspect they were a factor because the editor said she "liked" the idea.
DeleteCongratulations Gale!
ReplyDeleteAnd in particular you, Lyn, know how long a magazine can hold something! Has that poem been published yet?
DeleteYippee! Love those frogs!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Gale! What awesome news!! Looking forward to reading it!
