Welcome!
Writing is not an easy task. I know this because I've tried it and been told how far I have to go on some of my projects to even think about considering it worthy for publication. That really makes you say ow! but you know it is for your own benefit as well as for the benefit of the people who may one day read your work.
This web site is dedicated to the writers of books for children. I have created a list of resources to help writers with most aspects associated with the task of writing as well as a place for people to chat about writing and some online tools.
Send any comments about or suggestions for this section to nancy@cavanaughcreations.com with just the word 'web comments' in the subject line. Thanks!
Writing Prompts
I recently introduced a new feature for the site: writing prompts! Looking for inspiration? Need some practice? Then check back every few days for a new prompt or click on the link and get them sent to you directly from Twitter! I will be keeping an archive of all the prompts as well (see the link above).
If you would like to submit a week's worth of writing prompts, please drop me an e-mail at the address above. You'll get some free promotion via a short bio and links to your web site/blog.
