If it's good, illustrated, etc., they'll read it.

If it can be revived, those'll be important markets for it. As a 32-pager, going bilingual would raise the price, maybe not the way to go.

I had to re-write the hell out of it. It took them forever to get around to paying me, and even longer to publish it. I kinda gave up on writing childern's lit after that. Kids do need magazines, though. At the library where I work, I keep seeing kids playing online games like "Crips vs. Bloods."ERNEST HOGANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16540897948215678872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-83164313802988799312014-10-11T09:45:50.613-06:002014-10-11T09:45:50.613-06:00It's sad to read about IQUANA closing, esepcia...It's sad to read about IQUANA closing, esepcially in a growing market of Latino kids in the U.S. Maybe publishing it in in Spanish and English in the same issue might increase circulation, and also help kids to want to learn Spanish by having the two versions side by side. I wonder if Libraries of American schools are purchasing the magazine, giving it an annual source of income. The magazine's cover with the picture of the girl and the boy is well down and invite readers to open it.
