Could you write for children? Post Reply

[Writerlady]

Now i know there are lots of very clever people out there in Nappy Valley so before I start to trawl the agents looking for writers, i thought i'd ask all of you! I work for a large well-known publisher and i am looking for new writers. I am not looking for the new Harry Potter or people's own stories to publish, but am looking for great writers who can write to commission, within tight guidelines, for a fee (not large!)

Maybe you have written for children before? Maybe you'd like to give it go? Maybe you are a journalist, or have written for adults? Or you could be a copywriter?

It's fiction, pre-school generally, based around well-known children's characters. Perhaps adapting a tv script into a story or creating a story around existing characters.

Please pm me if you would like to write a sample, unpaid i'm afraid, but prob just a hundred words or so, to a brief.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Hello there,

I work with children and have a wild imagination, I would love the chance to try my hand at this. I do have some stories I have written for my own children when they were young.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Also, I have a very clever 21 year old daughter ( Law degree) and she has just returned from working at Camp America, where she tells me she had to come up with different story for children each night! I'm sure she could write one or two down too.

Thank you in advance,


Cinderella x

Thanks mrssmith and watermancinders for your replies but as I said in my post, I am not looking for new stories, I am looking for people who can write text to commission, following an existing brief, based on existing well-known characters, to a specific word count. Do message me (or reply here) if you'd still like to have a go!

Thanks very much to all the people who have messaged me - I will reply asap and hope to send out a brief for your sample early next week. I guessed there was an abundance of talented people out there, and I was right!

Anyone else? Trying to winkle out every light hiding under a bushel in Nappy Valley!

Hello,

I'm a journalist (now a mummy) and would be interested in giving this a go!

I used to come up with TV format ideas for ITV, write scripts etc.

I am used to writing to specific word counts and with very tight deadlines! Well, working on a daily live TV show certainly makes you do things quickly.

Thanks

Hi

My name is Elda and I am very interested in your proposal, as one of my passions is to write for children. I hold a Master's Degree in Screenwriting at the London Film School and, although my main focus has been writing for film, I have started several projects for children literature.

Please send me your email, so i could send you samples of my writing.

Hope you have a lovely day,
Elda
