Bug the Kids for Once
Who: Cricket/Ladybug Magazine
What: Fiction for a reading and listening magazine for young children ages 2 to 6.
How: Something a little lighter today, folks. Write something for the kiddies.
They want read-aloud stories, picture stories, original re-tellings of folk and fairy tales, and multicultural stories.
The format is 8″ x 10″, full color, and contains 36 pages plus a 4-page activity pullout. It is staple-bound.
How long: Up to 800 words.
How much: Here’s the kicker. Stories and articles: 25ยข per word; $25 minimum. That means 800 words will get you $200. Feeling a little more inspired now?
Is there a catch? You need to get at least some idea of what they want before you spend your time writing something. Look here to get a better idea: http://www.cricketmag.com/ProductDetail.asp?pid=5&type=
