Author Chris Eboch
Can you write poetry for preschoolers, short middle grade mysteries, or teen true confessions? How about articles on simple science, humorous history or clever crafts? More than 500 children’s magazines need stories and articles of all types. Writing for magazines can give you a list of credits and published writing samples, or even bring in a steady income.
Author, editor and writing instructor Chris Eboch writes a variety of genres for all ages including historical fantasy, historical adventure, spooky adventure, easy science and other nonfiction. Her writing articles have appeared in Writer’s Digest, Children’s Writer and Byline. Chris teaches through the Institute of Children’s Literature and has taught a number of webinars on plot and other topics.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the magazine markets, analyze specific magazines for content and style, and brainstorm appropriate ideas. Then we’ll look at how to put together an article or story for children. Expect to leave this workshop with ideas for future development.
To prepare for this webinar, please find copies of five different magazines at your library or from online samples and read them in advance. In addition, find and study the writer's guidelines for those magazines.
Chris has her MA degree in professional writing and publishing form Emerson College in Boston as well as a BFA in photography from Rhode Island School of Design. She has worked as a magazine editor and writer, taught fiction writing and led dozens of workshops for children and adults. She's also the immediate past SCBWI New Mexico Regional Advisor.
