Description

Never stare at a blank page again! This treasure chest for young writers is packed with more than 200 fun, imaginative ideas.

Arranged by subject, the prompts will appeal to a wide variety of writers. Choose from serious topics, silly topics, fiction "story starters," autobiographical prompts, nonfiction ideas, and more. Prompts are geared toward writers age 8-13 but can be adapted for other ages. Grownups can use them, too.

Here are two of the many writing ideas you'll find in Amazing Writing Prompts for Kids:

* You're opening a candy store for cats. Describe what you'll sell. Give your candies names. Tell how they'll look and taste.

* Write a short piece about your usual morning routine or any other boring subject. Treat this like an ordinary assignment, but include at least three made-up words. Use the words in such a way that a reader can figure out their meanings.

Use the prompts for daily journal writing or as jump-starts for longer pieces. The book includes tips for drafting, revision, and sharing work. You'll also find suggestions for creating your own topics. With something for everyone, Amazing Writing Prompts is an ideal resource for beginners and experienced writers alike.
