Kids want to read great science journalism too. We’ll talk about how you can bring it to them, from understanding your audience through pitching the right outlets and polishing your language (hint: it’s not about the exclamation points). How do you talk to a young audience without talking down? Where are the lesser-known markets? Can you make a living this way? Our panelists will discuss these questions along with the other unique challenges — and rewards — of writing for kids.
