Attention Childrens Book Writers!

A new friend of mine from London just let me know about this great new resource.

Check it out, www.smories.com is a free website for kids to watch little films of new stories being read by other kids.

It is also a place for unpublished children's story writers worldwide
to get their work published free online, whilst retaining all rights.
The stories will be text only (not illustrated), which will remove a
common obstacle to publication for many aspiring writers.

In order to attract great stories, we have created a US$1,500 (£1,000)
prize for the best one submitted each month. From the submissions, 50
stories will be shortlisted each month, get narrated by kids and
filmed, and the film attracting the most traffic on the site will win
the prize.

This sounds fun. I might check it out for my son. (He's learning to read, and this might be fun for him.)
