The following criteria shall be used by the judges in evaluating and judging the entries to determine the winners:

CONTENT (60%)

Subject or topic
Plot or Storyline
Originality

We are looking for stories that stir our imagination and make us believe in the power of storytelling. Children have imaginative and inventive minds and the stories we tell them should be up to the task.

WRITING STYLE (20%)

Language
Comprehensibility
Style

Understandability and form can make or break a story. The way we tell the narratives matter a lot, they must be absorbed by readers both young and young at heart.

READERS IMPACT (20%)

Moral lesson
Insight

Great stories live forever if they carry life values. We are looking for narrative that will become classics because of the lessons they tell.

PRIZE:

The winning piece will be published by ReadersMagnet (Children’s Book Package worth $2000).

A friend of mine recently published her first kid's book! Check it out! https://www.amazon.com/Eric-Wrinkles-Bunnyworms-Danette-Bradford/dp/197359241X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514691159&sr=8-1&keywords=eric+and+wrinkles

This is a very good group to join if you are serious about writing for children.

I am SO sorry that I have not been active in this group the past couple of years. It's just my family has been having many people die and my mom just recently had heart surgery.

Although all those things happened, there is still some very good things happening to me in my life like my sister graduated this past school year! I'm so proud of her and I'm going to be graduating high school in 2016! Also my little brother is starting high school. I can't wait to show him the ropes ,<3
but like I said I am so sorry i haven't been active and that isn't right for a Mod to do so.
