The National Writing for Children's Center is the home of the Children's Writers Coaching Club (CWCC), and a growing resource for children's writers, aspiring children's writers, and elementary school teachers and/or librarians.
I am a member of the center and enrollment provides a weekly critique group, weekly tele-classes and much more support services.

Musing Our Children Book Reviews by Kids!
In conjunction with Musing Our Children I'm pleased to announce Musing Book Reviews by Kids.
Have you read a good book lately? What did you think of the newest Harry Potter book? We welcome your thoughts and invite you to send us your review - you need to be under seventeen, sorry, no grownups here.
FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS: Our guidelines are quite simple and we'd love to have your children/students participating all year round. This will not only encourage them to read, but to write and read their published review online. We need you to help them send us the following: their first name, their age and grade level, city and country, the title and author of the book they read and their review - couldn't have a review site without reviews. Email it to: Lea Schizas: museitupeditor@yahoo.ca
Make sure to place KIDS REVIEW on the subject heading.
That's it. Nice and easy.We can't wait to read all the reviews to come our way.
