Tuesday Tip #26: Children's Magazine Themes

Do you need something to write about AND hoping to make a buck or two doing it? Check out magazine theme lists for a little writing prompt that could lead to publication and a fun little paycheck!

To get you started, here are a few magazines that work with set themes, some of which have helped me aim right and get my work in print:

• Fun for Kidz (at the bottom of the page, click "writers" then "download current open theme list")
• DevoZine (click on "writer's corner" and then "themes")
• Pockets (under Write for Pockets, click "themes")
• Cobblestone (scroll down for theme list)
• Cadet Quest
• Calliope (scroll down for theme list)

Those are just a few, and I'm sure if you dig just a little you'll find plenty more. Remember, almost all children's magazines will accept seasonal material, so those are themes to keep in mind too!
