Why reinvent the wheel if you don't have to?
Here is a super handy list of resources for anyone interested in writing for kids or trying a hand at poetry. While there are many websites, courses, blogs, contests, and author links I could include here, I will start with what I know, have been a part of, want to learn more about, and author websites I have visited frequently or come to rely on. Please feel free to send a request to add a resource not already listed here that might be of interest to Kidlit writers and illustrators. Enjoy!
