Jan Mader of Ignite to Write

I subscribe to the blog of children's author Jan Mader, which is called Ignite to Write. She gives a lot of helpful tips on writing and teaching writing and things to write about. Her latest post asks her readers to ask her a question about writing, and she'll answer it. So, if you have a burning question that you have been itching to ask - but haven't had anyone to ask - then here's your chance! I've posted the newsletter below.

Ask Me Anything!

I've been bad. I promised a Friday night post and I was pooped! After three terrific days at thehorse show, I'm ready to get back to anything that has to do with writing and hope you are too.

Do any of you have questions about writing that you would like to ask me? This idea occurred to me after one of you emailed me last week with a really good question.

Writers: Ask me anything. I've been through the publishing process from rejection to publication and back again. If I don't know the answer, I'll find it for you.

Teachers, Parents, and Homeschoolers: Is there any area of writing that is difficult for YOU personally? Can I give you ideas for writing exercises that will help you meet state standards in a creative way? Tell me what you need or ask me anything. Since I get the privilege to work with kids at every grade level I have loads of writing activities that are just begging to be shared!

I'll look forward to hearing from lots of you. My answers will be posted under your question (comments) so that everyone can read them.
