How do you use Stone Soup?
Posted: August 23rd, 2010, Author: admin
We started publishing Stone Soup in 1973. We were college students. The magazine grew rapidly for the first few years and then it leveled off. We’d like to see it grow again and are thinking that it might help us tell the Stone Soup story if we could hear from you how you use Stone Soup in your classroom or how your child responds to Stone Soup when it arrives in your home. We’d like to hear from you in writing — and if you might feel inspired ot make a video that you wouldn’t mind us positing on our web site — then we’d like to hear from you in video, too.
Thank you,
William
Stone Soup and Creative Writing
Posted: October 20th, 2009, Author: William Rubel
Creative writing, as a term, was invented in the 19th century to express the idea that there was writing, and then there was creative writing. With use, the expression has lost meaning and now creative writing is synonymous with writing fiction or poetry, as opposed to writing nonfiction. But at Stone Soup we think that it is is important to stick with first principles. Since our founding in 1973, our goal has always been to publish writing by children that is creative in the primary sense of the word — writing that is inventive.
