Vicki Davey is one of my most industrious clients. If she were a shapeshifter, she'd be a worker bee. Yikes! I was only 15 then. What have YOU been doing since 1988? Bzzz-bzzz, I tell you. |

If you're a poet, you're probably wondering what to do with the stack of poem-filled notebooks on your bedside table. Will they ever emerge, eyes blinking mole-like, to see the light of day? Children's magazines are an option, but if you want the pleasure of holding a book filled with words that came out of your brain, an anthology is the beastie you want to tame. But how? |

Joining one of these classes will teach you a lot about writing poetry for children, and creating your own anthology. Bonus: they also give you the opportunity to contribute a poem to their next anthology. There's no guarantee your poem will be accepted, mind, but be a worker-bee hard worker like Vicki, and there's a good chance it will be. There'll be another session of Think Poetry in January 2024, so keep an eye on Pomelo Books' website and social media for news. And you know that I'll give you the deets here too, don't you? |

P.S. Like worker bees, let's keep the great team camaraderie going to clinch the survival of our colony. It's as easy as sharing this newsletter with just one other bee. Bzzz! Bzzz! P.P.S. I'm teaching a class at the Editorial Freelancers Association on Editing Picture Books from September 20th. If editing children's books is something you'd like to do, come on over! It's also a great class for writers whose weak point is revision. |
