Children help to keep you young and writing for them...even younger.
ABOUT THE WRITER:
VS Grenier is the editor of Stories for Children Magazine and SFC Newsletter for Writers. She also freelances as a children’s and Teen’s author, in addition to running her own critique service. Grenier learned how to hone her writing skills at the Institute of Children’s Literature. She’s also a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writer’s and Illustrators (SCBWI) and Musing Our Children. Her works include short stories, articles, and crafts for children along with newsletter articles for writers. VS Grenier started Stories for Children Magazine, a free E-zine for children 3 to 12 years old, because she wanted to share the wonderful World of Ink with children al over the world. She also started the SFC Newsletter for Writers as an effective tool to keep writers on top of the writing game with timely articles, Market news, current contest, up coming writing workshops, and so much more.
Grenier found herself journaling stories about her two children when she became a stay-at-home-mom. Stories popped into her head, inspired by the everyday antics of her children experiencing their childhood. That’s when she came across The Institute of Children’s Literature (ICL). Through the ICL, VS Grenier learned how to hone her writing skills. She also joined writing groups to network with others who had the same passion—writing for children.
“Having others read what you have written and giving feedback not only makes you a better writer, but you start to understand how a well written story’s voice captures the reader, drawing them into your world of ink,†states VS Grenier.
A California girl at heart, she currently lives in Utah with her husband, their two children, and the family’s two big fat cats, Mr. Q and Speed Bump. VS Grenier’s hobbies include: writing for children, reading, gardening, interior design, scrapbooking, camping, biking, and singing. She’s a big Harry Potter fan and has admitted to reading each book in the series five times. She also loves “Lord of the Rings†and “The Hobbitâ€. She continues to write books, articles, and short stories for children and teens and finds that it keeps her young. She still dresses up for Halloween and still believes in Santa Claus.
One thing that is very important to me is helping others. So how can I do that? By letting those who love to write for children know where to find the answers to questions or even where to begin.

MY AUTHOR'S DEN PAGE! www.authorsden.com/virginiasgrenierI guess you can't take the California out of me! After living there most of my life...there are many things I do not miss. Traffic is one of them. But the beaches are nice and the night life. Working in Hollywood was fun. You get to see lots of stars. Oh well, Utah has good points too. You can see the seasons change. There is snow and I can go skiing!
You Belong in Los Angeles
Whether you'll admit it or not, a huge part of you likes being in the spotlight.
And you may just have enough star quality to make it big in LA!
Even if you don't become famous, you still belong in a place where you can get a year round tan. Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?
