Summer may be over and some of you are already back in school. Still, a summer short story is a good read anytime.  

Whether you're entering fourth grade, your senior year, or somewhere in between, it's never too early to start thinking about college. This issue has an excellent article about ways to begin preparing for your higher education now.

Let's try this again!

Almost two months ago, I wrote a post (see below) introducing this Starsongs Magazine blog. Unfortunately, shortly after that, my granddaughter and I decided to make some font and color changes. Little did we know we managed to wipe out the entire web site!

It's taken a few weeks to get things back in order, so again, I would like to welcome you  Take a look around. Send me an email from my contact Patti page or leave a comment at the bottom of this post. Let me know what else you would like to see on the site.

Happy writing! 

Welcome to Starsongs Magazine

Welcome to Starsongs Magazine's official web page. It will take me a few days to get everything here that I want, but for now you will find our guidelines and the rules for our annual novel writing contest.

In the next few days, I'll be adding lots more, including samples of writings from previous issues, information about our authors, more ongoing contests, and what we are seeking for up and coming issues.

What would you like to see in Starsongs magazine and on this blog?  My goal is to serve as a resource for young writers not only for improving your writing skills, but for getting published. 

Have questions? 

Feel free to leave them in the comments section.

Look forward to hearing from you!
