I'm not a writer, but my children love Barfoot Books!
They're a small publisher of innovative and beautifully crafted artistic children's' story books, many of which have won national awards. They might be able to help you get published.

I made a little book for my daughter and It wasn't really anything that spectacular in writing terms, but I hope it will be a keepsake for her to treasure.


I won't clog up your thread with more pictures because I just wanted to give you an idea of something you could do to get you thinking?

i was wondering if anyone writes stories for a hobby. (or living) i have always fancied writing a fairy tale style story for my children which could include them in it. something that they could treasure and keep to read to there own children oneday. i would love to here from anyone who does write or has an interest. x

Give it a try! Writing can be fun. Everyone has their own way of doing it: mine is to map out most of the story in my head first and even start to "write" the beginning of the story in my head. Only then when the opening has been revised and revised in my head do I write it down.

Once you get going it can be hard to stop. The ideas come tumbling out and you have to keep writing lest those great ideas be forgotten.
