The Joys of Writing Poetry and Books for Children.
Laura Purdie Salas chatted with Gayle Jacobson-Huset, Assistant Editor Stories for Children Magazine about the joys of writing for children. Gayle asked Salas some tough questions such as: “If you could be a character in any children's book ever written, who would you be and why?” The two ladies had a great time covering Salas’ poetry and writing career, not to mention the writing workshops Salas offers writers.
When asked about her next writing project, Salas had this to say:
“Oh boy. I always have so many going on!
Right now, I’m working on several things. For the educational market, I just turned in four science songs. These are song lyrics written to the tune of copyright-free songs (Clementine, for instance) that teach 1st-2nd grade kids all about a certain scientific topic…”
“On the poetry side of things, I’m working on some new poems for a 2nd poetry collection that Clarion has made an offer on (I’m excited beyond words about that!), and I’m pondering some structural changes and a new ending for a humorous poetry collection aimed at boys…”
Laura Purdie Salas is a children’s poet and writer. She writes poetry, nonfiction, and fiction for kids from pre-K to teens. She has more than 35 nonfiction books out, as well as 6 poetry collections, with more to come!
