TYPES OF EDITORIAL STORIES
Our editorial content generally falls into the following formats:
EXPERT ARTICLES
These articles are written by professionals with relevant knowledge, experience or qualifications in a subject that contributes to children’s learning, development or well-being.
We welcome practical advice, professional perspectives, research-informed information and educational insights that help parents and educators better understand and support children.
Expert articles should focus on sharing knowledge rather than promoting a business, product or service. Contributors may include a short author biography outlining their professional background and relevant work.
HOW-TO TIPS, ADVICE & RESOURCE INFORMATION
These stories provide useful information, ideas and practical resources for parents, educators and other people who work with children.
They may take the form of activity guides, instructional articles, seasonal compilations, educational resource lists, music and movement ideas, classroom inspiration or helpful tips.
Our goal is to give readers information they can use and ideas they can put into practice.
HUMAN INTEREST & INSPIRATIONAL STORIES
These are stories about real people, personal experiences, creative projects and initiatives that educate, inform or inspire our readers.
We are interested in hearing from educators, parents, children’s authors, musicians, artists, youth changemakers and others whose experiences offer something meaningful to our audience.
These stories should have an authentic editorial angle rather than simply serving as personal or business promotion.
