First-Time Authors presents 64 children's magazine stories and articles that were first published pieces, often with the original artwork included. The authors share their story behind the story; how they got the idea, developed, polished, and revised it to meet an editor's needs and then achieved that all-important first sale. To see how the process worked from the other side of the desk, we asked the editors who accepted these selections to explain what attracted them to the submissions . . . how they worked on the manuscripts . . . and why the stories and articles were ultimately successful. The 64 first published pieces include 26 stories and 38 articles that appeared in 40 different magazines, for youngest listeners and readers, intermediate readers, and preteens and teens.

--Real writers. Real writing. Real inspiring. When you read, just how carefully do you study the author at work? Do you see how the story or article is unfolding only after it s unfolded, or do you watch the author s every move--like a hawk? Are you aware of all the gifts the author is offering you, or are you, unknowingly, leaving some jewels on the page? This anthology of notable published fiction and nonfiction has a purpose: to give you 81 outstanding models of characterization, dialogue, viewpoints, endings, settings, leads, conflict, climax, voice, flashbacks, (and every aspect of each of these elements), to examine, understand, consider and, perhaps, add to your arsenal of skills.
