White Cross School - informative and interesting

If you aren't following the White Cross School blog on the NCWN website, you are missing important news for writers.

In this post 
 https://www.ncwriters.org/whitecross/2018/11/20/momlovesbest/ we learn why books should be in the homes of all children. If children are read to, they learn to enjoy books and will soon be reading them as well.

As a former elementary school teacher, I could tell which of my students were exposed to books in their homes. Some of them loved to read and were careful with books while others had no use for them. Those who liked books were usually the students who made better grades.

I think almost any subject can be taught in a way children will learn if there is a book written on that subject, a book that tells an interesting story. Text books are often dull and uninteresting. But story books grab a child's imagination and run with it. 

If you write for children or if you have children, read this blog post on the Whitecross blog.


Every writer is excited to get the first contract for publishing a book.

Before you sign that contract, make sure you’re as prepared as possible for just what you’re signing on for—and what you’re signing away.  

In this post, a book is recommended for writers to help them understand what they are signing when they get that contract. I'd say this is one of the most important things any writer needs to know.
