First, my first physical book, How to Read Scratch Computer Code, is now available on the Child's World website! I'm so excited for people to have the opportunity to get it. It's a great introduction to the world of Scratch programming for young kids ages 6-9.
The book is part of The Child's World Understanding the Basics series, which includes How to Read Nutrition Labels and How to Read Clocks and Calendars.
I'm including links with info about the book, the entire series, and the publisher again in case anyone wants to order it.

You can also order it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or through your favorite independent bookstore. Also, feel free to mention it to your local libraries and schools so they can stock it too.
Second, I have a BRAND NEW book available at the Reading A-Z website called I Collect That, co-written with Elizabeth Jane Pustilnik. It is an early reader book for kids age 7 (level N) that talks about the concept of collections and some interesting and odd things people like to collect.
The book is also available at the H and K levels. You can find it at the Reading A-Z website, here:

While I'm shamelessly plugging things, check out my past books as well, here:
The Variety Show, an anthology of short stories for kids ages 6-7, created by members of my writing group, The Magic Story Makers. My short story, "Conjuring Up Trouble", is included inside.
At Amazon:

I'm the Small One, an early reader for kids age 7 (level P), about Sophie's frustration with being small and how she learns that being small may not be so bad after all.
The book is a multilevel reading book for younger kids as well (levels J and M).

There's more to come! What? you ask. Well... here's a hint... you can put my name in amazon.com and see what comes up... but I'll report more on that later, when I have more info.
Thanks for following and for all your support!
Hi there George! I've enjoyed reading through your posts! I am an emerging Children's Writer and am interested in writing freelance for Learning A-Z. Would you be willing to give me any tips you feel comfortable sharing as to how to start this process? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer. Thanks for stopping by! What I did when I was inquiring about writing for Reading A-Z was go to their website and then go to customer support to ask for writing guidelines. They sent me an email address to send my inquiry and also mentioned that I send a writing sample and summarize my writing background and interests, including subject matter and age groups I like to write about/for, in my letter. So I would start with sending an email to their customer support in case the guidelines have changed and get a writing sample or two together just in case they still require them. Best of luck, and keep me posted on how it goes for you. Reach out if you have any more questions.
