    Hello,
    I rep­re­sent an author of a text­book for chil­dren being raised pagan, and I would like to have a link to the site (for the book) included some­where on your site.
    She has cur­rently pub­lished only one text book, but it is to be the first in a series for chil­dren.

    Thank you.

    Help! A friend of mine is being threat­ened with the removal of her chil­dren from her cus­tody because of an igno­rant ex-husband manip­u­lat­ing the kids. Her lawyer is totally unknow­ing about Wicca, and has cut her loose for the most part. It feels like a minia­ture witch-hunt in this small town. Pauline C. Upstate NY(stormmoon54@hotmail.com)

    I just com­pleted a book on Pagan­ism for teenaged boys. It is quite dif­fer­ent from any­thing else on the mar­ket in that it empha­sizes respon­si­bil­ity and self reliance rather than shiny tools and fluffy spells. It is cur­rently being con­sid­ered by 0-Books in the UK. The publisher’s main con­cern is that the mar­ket is too small: teenaged boys don’t buy books. I believe that my book would be some­thing a Pagan par­ent would want for their son. I am not going to spam this forum with a prod­uct to buy. I would like to enter into a con­ver­sa­tion with any here who is interested.

    Merry Meet! My name is Natalie, and I co-publish broomstix.com a free resource for pagan children–the Samhain issue is up now! My fel­low pub­lish­ers Kat (who is also my elder), Char­lotte and I started this online mag­a­zine as a com­mu­nity ser­vice. Please have a look and let us know what you think, and if your group or fam­ily finds it useful–we are always look­ing to improve. We’re also look­ing for writ­ers and artists too.

    Bright Bless­ings!

    Michael, what’s the name of the book? Do you have a web site about it? I haven’t seen nearly as much mate­r­ial for male teens or their par­ents as for females, so it sounds like you’ve found a good niche!

    Pauline, has your friend approached any of the advo­cacy groups for help? Many are listed at http://www.religioustolerance.org/witchcr2.htm .

    Natalie and Matt, your projects look very inter­est­ing! We’ll check them out :-)

    The name of the book is The Horned God in Every Boy. I have just signed con­tract with John Hunt Publications/0-Books so I expect it to be out late this year or early next.

    Natalie, your mag­a­zine sounds very inter­est­ing. I’ll check out the web­site. It think I’d like to contribute.

    Natalie,
    I looked at your site. It’s a pretty nice lit­tle mag­a­zine. I’m espe­cially impressed by the list­ing of past con­trib­u­tors. While I have taught lower ele­men­tary grades in pub­lic school, I’ve never writ­ten any­thing on Pagan­ism for that age audi­ence. My book is intended more for the 13-21yr age range. Let me think on it and see what I can come up with.

    I am work­ing on a pagan chil­drens book, I’d like to make it a ‘series’ about the Pagan hol­i­days, through the eyes of my chil­dren. How­ever, I find it very hard to find any one who accepts new authors for pub­lish­ing! and I really dont have the $ right now to self pub­lish. So, I am cur­rently work­ing on the book, and my friend is work­ing on illus­tra­tions, and I guess we will see how things end up in the long run. Just won­dered if any of you have any pub­lish­ing advice?

    Hi Shel,

    You might want to con­sider Lulu or Cre­ate Space–both of these are print on demand pub­lish­ers that require min­i­mal out­lay on the part of the writers/artists, and there are mar­ket­ing options as well. I would sug­gest hav­ing your book edited before you bring it to the market–are you all part of a writer’s group or the SCBWI–both of these are great resources for folks writ­ing and illus­trat­ing for kids. Good Luck! Nat :)

    Shel,
    The pub­lish­ing busi­ness is really hard to break into. I would sug­gest my pub­lisher 0-Books. They are small, work with first time authors, but you will have to do a lot more work than with the big com­pa­nies. No, they aren’t a van­ity pub­lisher or print on demand. Good luck.
