What are some good, if there are any refference books for writing short fiction?We Answered:

Is it okay to take a few minor liberties with writing historical fiction?We Answered:
I know many readers of historical fiction are fanatics about accuracy. I've heard historical authors tell of letters from irate readers berating them for historically inaccurate details, including the type of clothing depicted on the cover of the book! (Which an author has no control over, anyway.)I'd suggest you have a very convincing reason this woman would be a teacher - and it better not be that she just LOVES kids because your readers aren't going to buy that.

Which do you think is more important or higher priority-furthering my Spanish or writing fiction?We Answered:
If i was bi-lingual I would spend the weekend I would write a long passage about something and have a fluent Spanish speaker read it.He/she will be able to guide you into how it is read and understood from a Spanish mind.

Primary teachers?? Im trying to think of a good topic for teaching non-fiction writing for the 8-9 age group?We Answered:
I have a book that I got from amazon that is awesome.http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Independen…
It has independent reading response sheets that have simple directions, and the students must turn in with a rubric they complete themselves.
I use 10 reports 1st semester then add 10 the second. I have used it with students in 1-5th grade.

Marion Said:
How do I land a gig as a creative writing teacher?We Answered:
First you need a degree in either Language Arts or English with the education classes needed for a teaching certificate. You then need to complete student teaching or a practicum, whichever it is called in your state. Finally, you need to get a position in a middle school or high school teaching Language Arts and wait, wait, wait, until the teacher who has been teaching creative writing retires. Creative writing is usually an elective or honors class and the new teachers don't generally get those. It's a"pay your dues" kind of thing in most schools.Pauline Said:
