Opportunities SAVE $$$
Are you looking to publish your children's book?
The National Association of Elementary School Principals is offering two aspiring writers the chance to have their children's book published.
T
his is the second year for the "National Children's Book Award" contest. It is open to
anyone who wants to submit a man- uscript. Two winners are chosen: one chil-
dren's picture book and one chil- dren's chapter book (for ages rang- ing from 3-16). Do not submit pic- tures if you are entering a picture book. Illustrations will be done by a professional artist if you are the winner.
The contest deadline is March 1, 2012. There is a $45 entry fee. Five finalists as well as the two win- ners will be announced on March 23.
A panel including experts from the fields of editing, education, reviewing, bookselling and libraries will judge each manu- script. Judging will be based on content, originality and age-appro- priateness. This is a chance to get your work endorsed by the NAESP Foundation and published by a nationally known publisher, Charlesbridge Publishing. For more information, and to enter the contest, go to the NAESP website at
