SFC Contributors
We are committed to giving authors and illustrators new to children's writing a chance to get their works published in Stories for Children Magazine. We also work tirelessly to help promote our authors and illustrators. We have started our "Good News" column where we list the accomplishments of our contributors in other publications, we list many of the published books by our contributors in the SFC bookstore, we offer a chance to be published in our "Best of" anthology, we have the annual GRANNY Awards in April, and much more.
We hope you will take all of this into consideration when choosing Stories for Children Magazine as a potential home for your work.

Attention all Writers and Illustrators of SFC:
We value you and your hard work for us. We would like to let others know of your successes outside of Stories for Children Magazine, too. We have a small column that will appear on our WEBSITE ONLY where we will share your recent good news with our readership. We'd like to keep the wording of your good news to a minimum due to space issues, so a simple sentence would be best.
(Example: Author Gayle Jacobson-Huset just had an article entitled: "accepted for publication in the December 2007 issue of....") We are calling this column our “GOOD NEWS FILE.”
If you have had any recent good news to share with us, outside of Stories for Children Magazine, please send an email to Gayle Jacobson-Huset, Managing Editor at: GJacobson_Huset@storiesforchildrenmagazine.org (GJacobson_Huset@. . .) Put "GOOD NEWS FILE" in the subject line. We hope to be able to fill up this column quickly each month - all of you are awesome!
The "GRANNYS" are here at Stories for Children Magazine:
Hollywood may have the Grammies, but we here at SFC have THE GRANNYS!
Without you, and without the awesome generosity of your outstanding talent and contributions, and your belief in us as the "new kid on the block", there would NOT BE a Stories for Children Magazine! The selfless gift of your time and talent to get Stories for Children off the ground and growing is appreciated more than we can ever say.
At the end of each year the Staff at Stories for Children Magazine will pick their Top Three Personal Favorite Contributions in the following categories:
Nonfiction
Fiction
Illustration/Artwork
Poetry
Youth
If you have been a contributor to Stories for Children Magazine in one of these categories, then you are in the running! Our Granny Winners and their rewards will be announced in the April issue each year. Good luck to all of you, and thank you for "being there" for us when we needed you the most! Be sure to be dressed up in your best formal clothing with your web cam focused on YOU, on April 1st, just in case you're one of our winners! Good Luck!
And we're not fooling – this really truly IS an award!
