Many learners who love to write dream of being published but believe they have to be older to do it.  Not true. There are dozens of magazines for teens that are written by teens. 

In this one-to-one class, I will guide your learner to take on each step leading to publication of their NONFICTION and FICTION ideas.:

1. Developing a subject.
2. Writing a query (article proposal), including the qualifications of the learner, 
    even if unpublished.
3. Analyzing potential magazines that publish on the learner's subject. 
4. Considering all the factors that influence editors to accept or not accept an article for publication, including:
    • Previous articles on the same topic.
    • Is it something current, timely or an "evergreen" (a subject that can be 
used anytime).
    • Seasonal considerations.
    • Experience of the writer.

To continue:

6. Properly formatting the query to send to the right editor.
7. Developing a system for tracking queries.
8. Handling the emotional side of getting published: 
    • What to do when getting a positive response; negotiating 
deadline or money with a publisher.
    • Preparing for rejection.

This part of the tutoring will take about three to four sessions, and will bring learners to the actual send-off of their first query. They can then submit this query to any number of publications.

I am also available to students if an editor asks them to write an article they proposed.

DISCLAIMER:  I don't guarantee that any learner will be published after taking this class. Numerous factors go into getting published beyond learning skills.
