Be a published writer! What to appear in a magazine? You could be in Storyworks magazine. All you have to do is read a book (one of mine, I hope), write 1-2 paragraphs about what you liked about it and a few details about what happened, send in your photo and you could be in Scholastic's Storyworks next issue. Sign your name at the bottom of the review and send it to REVIEWS BY YOU Storyworks PO Box 712 New York, NY 10013-0712. (Remember to include your name, age, teacher's name, school's name and address, and school's phone number.) Also check out the list of magazines at the end of this page. Have fun! |

Magazines are a great place to start getting your stories published. Take a look at the ones below in your local library or book store (or others your libary may have). Then see if one of your stories would be a good fit for that magazine. If they are look at the editoral information in the front of the magazine to see where to send your story. Good luck, Debbie
