Jamin's Blog
Our 16 yo has a class this year in which he is trying to get book reviews etc published. We've run into a problem. No one seems to WANT to publish what a YOUTH thinks about books - even the teen magazines have adult reviewers telling them what teens think. ::snort:: A blogger is born. He will be publishing his book reviews, editorials, various writing assignments, short stories, various excerpts he's working on from his book - to his blog.
He may eventually write about "life", but my family seems to think that I do a well enough job communicating our daily activities. ::snort::

Our pathetic local newspaper actually does a kids' page every week, and there is always a book review in there. I don't know if it's done locally (though I'm assuming it is). Perhaps this is an avenue that Jamin could persue...talking to the paper about setting up a kid's page which would include a book review and news worthy things that KIDS want to know about....
De'Etta, my oldest dd ran into the same difficulties with finding publishers for her writing.
Glad he started a blog. I'll pass it along to my girls.
Sis: The local paper here has a teen thing once a week.
We will be looking forward to reading what Jamin puts on his blog.

I'll pass this on to my kids. I'm sure they'd love to have more sites to visit.
He's talked the newspaper about publishing book reviews and they told him no....but maybe if he pitched the idea of a "kids page" once a month or something.....and I told him he could ALWAYS write editorials. ::snort::
