[LM_NET] State Standards/authors

[Catherine Balkin <BalkinBuddies@AOL.COM>]

In response to Melanie...

Melanie asked:I'm wondering if authors of children's books and/or their publishers 
are,at times, directing their publications toward being considered as reinforcement 
of state standards.Are there instances of different forms of children's books for 
the same reason?

...In the 20 years I've worked in children's trade publishing, I've never heard of 
authors or editors considering state standards when writing or editing books, and 
it never came up in marketing either. I've been freelancing at Holiday House of 
late and just went around and asked people here, and they've never seen these 
standards. Therefore, if you could tell me where to get them, I'm sure the 
marketing folks at some of the publishers I freelance for would be happy to see 
them. They probably won't do anything with them, but it could be interesting to see 
what they are.

Thanks,
