Anyone write children's books?

or pre-teen-books. The Harry Potter series comes to mind as a pre-teen or really even a teen genere (even though all ages like it:D) and "Junie B. Jones," as later elementary. I have been working on idea that ranges from later elementary to pre-teen and would love to exchange views with someone writing in this area. :D

3. Good stuff.

"Garfield Gets Feline Leukemia" and "No Hope For Fat Kids" were my favorites.

As far as writing children's books. I have a few really solid ideas, but I consistently fail to find my voice when writing for children. I just can't hit the right rhythm.

So I'm logging my ideas and hoping that as my writing grows I can come back to them.

I'm a freelance science writer, part-time. Always wanted to write non-fiction science for kids but haven't had the time. Always happy to chat with you about it. Please send me email at whimbrel at comcast dot net if you don't want to discuss it on this forum.

cheers,
