Milwaukee, Wis. (October 15, 2008) — Do you know a
young writer you want encourage? Here’s a great new
resource:
The I Love To Write Book: Ideas
& Tips for Young Writers, by
Mary-Lane Kamberg.
To read more about the contents, visit Crickhollow
Books (www.CrickhollowBooks.com).
The 136-page book is a “get-started” guide to launch
young writers on a journey to writing success . . . at
home and in the classroom. The instructional and
inspirational guide will help young writers (ages 8-14)
become successful, confident, and self-motivated
writers. It features practical tips, techniques, and
exercises ideal for use at home and in the classroom.
The guide offers broad advice for young writers at all
levels of ability. It includes many activities,
worksheets, and examples for developing ideas,
observing the world, writing different types of pieces
(such as news articles, book reviews, thank-you
letters, how-tos, and more), and best practices for
writing poetry and fiction.
It also covers the basics of revising work and
submitting pieces for publication in periodicals
featuring the best work of young writers. While ideal
for classroom use,
The I Love To Write
Book focuses on writing for its own sake,
to help young writers boost their skills and enthusiasm
for writing for personal satisfaction, community
impact, and possible publication.
Author Mary-Lane Kamberg is director of a summer
writing camp in Kansas for young writers. She has a
journalism degree from the University of Kansas and has
authored eleven books, including
Bono: Fighting
World Hunger and Poverty (2008) and
The “I
Don’t Know How To Cook” Book. She has also
published hundreds of articles, short stories, and
poems. She lives in Olathe, Kansas, near Kansas City.
The book is published in support of national “I Love To
Write Day,” celebrated each year in mid-November in
tens of thousands of schools, libraries, and bookstores
across the country. This November 15 has officially
been proclaimed as “I Love To Write Day” by governors
in nine states. For more on suggested activities, visit
