In Print! by Joe Rhatigan explores a plethora of projects for kids to turn their writing into something concrete. Why be limited to plain sheets of paper when kids could create a calendar of seasonal poetry, or a "memory" picture frame about a loved one, or a haiku T-shirt? Includes tips on the writing process and on submitting works for publication, with a list of magazines that accept the work of young writers.
