The contest for the Triond author who had the article with the highest page views has now come to a close and the winner has been determined!
I will be announcing the winner in the next few days so keep an eye out at Triond to see who has won King or Queen of Content. An author interview will be included and should inspire other online content writers, helping them to see how to craft their articles to attract a wider readership.
The contest received a good response and a number of hard-working writers had articles with impressive page views. After I announce the winning author, I will post an article announcing the 10 authors who also attracted a large readership. This will help to publicize authors who know how to write attention-grabbing articles.
A thank you and congratulations to all who participated in the author contest.

Writing Children's Stories: A Look at Picture Books
You've written a children's story now what to do?
Children's stories fall into different categories. Today we will look at picture books.
Picture Books
Picture books are geared for young children. A simple story is told through words and accompanying pictures. While usually written for very young children, their range may extend as far as the 10-year old child.
Picture Book Lengths
A picture book isn't particularly long, rather targeted to its audience. It helps to look through a sampling of picture books to get a feel for length. 1000 words or less is a good rule of thumb.
What Appeals to Young Children?
A picture book has to appeal to its audience. What concerns, fascinates, or entertains young ones?
Words Used in Picture Books
Successful picture book authors use words that conjur pictures in active minds. Strong action verbs capture kids' attention.
Vivid Description in Picture Books
Using adjectives that "show and don't tell" makes for a stronger manuscript that appeals to youngsters.
Paragraphs That Can Be Illustrated
Picture book paragraphs or verses should contain active scenes that can be illustrated. When writing your story, think about how it could be illustrated. What would your story look like if told through illustrations?
