CREATE ! (part one)

Dear Readers,
Lots of you know that the first story I remember writing was about a wild pinto stallion. I was 8, and only showed my creative writing to my family and friends, but I always wondered, just a little, if my work was good, or if people were just being nice.
So, I'm kind of excited, because I think I've discovered a very cool place for my readers to test their writing (and artistic!) skills.
Former librarian Paul Kelsey is the editor and publisher of Launch Pad: Where Young Authors and Illustrators Take Off!

You know how obsessed I am about checking out contests I mention to you? Well, this looks like a good one.

To quote Mr. Kelsey: "Young authors and illustrators certainly do not need to subscribe to our magazine to get published! In fact, each contributor will receive a free subscription to Launch Pad, a T-shirt, a bookmark, and a letter of commendation sent to their principal, favorite teacher, or librarian. Each contributor will also receive three free copies of the issue containing their work to share with family and friends."
Check out the details below!

Launch Pad: Where Young Authors and Illustrators Take Off! is now accepting fiction, nonfiction, poetry, book reviews, and artwork by children ages 6-12. We are looking for creative works about the following themes:

Animals
The Ocean
Fairy Tales & Fantasy
Heroes
Mysteries
Sports

Launch Pad: Where Young Authors and Illustrators Take Off! is scheduled to debut with a January/February 2008 print issue.
