Lit agent seeking ya whacky Christmas stories

There was a Christmas when the snowmen in a village came to life and had a snowball fight championship. They built forts out of snow and used carrots as missiles. Santa got caught in the crossfire but thought it was hilarious and joined in the fun for a while before getting back to his present - delivering duties.

Well, I'm not sure specifically which 'lit agent's kid's' stories you mean. But generally, whacky Christmas stories might involve things like a reindeer that can talk and tells really bad jokes, or a Christmas tree that comes to life and starts dancing around the living room.

One possible element could be a mischievous elf. This elf might play pranks on the family, like switching the labels on the presents or hiding the Christmas cookies. Another element could be a talking snowflake that gives advice on how to make the best snowman.

Many publishers have special collections of Christmas stories. You can visit the websites of well - known publishers like Scholastic. They produce a lot of books for kids and young adults, and during the Christmas season, they usually promote their Christmas - themed titles. Additionally, some authors have their own websites where they might offer free Christmas stories or at least list where you can buy their books with Christmas stories.

A great Christmas story for kids and YA often has a relatable protagonist. For example, a child who is excited about Christmas but also has some challenges to overcome, like not getting the present they wanted. It should also have a strong sense of the Christmas spirit, with elements like giving, family, and magic.

There are many reasons why lit agents might be seeking Christmas stories. It could be for a new anthology they are putting together. Maybe they want to add some festive cheer to their list of publications. If you have a great Christmas story, it should be full of the spirit of the season like love, giving, and family. Make sure your characters are engaging and the plot is interesting.

Here's another one. There was a family who decided to have a real - life reindeer for Christmas. They named it Rudolph, not because of its red nose but because it was always running into things. On Christmas Eve, Rudolph ate all the cookies left out for Santa. When Santa arrived, he was so surprised to see a chubby reindeer and no cookies.

First, you should research the specific lit agents who are seeking Christmas stories. Check their websites for submission guidelines. Usually, they will ask for a query letter, a synopsis, and a sample of your story. Make sure your query letter is professional and engaging, highlighting the unique aspects of your Christmas story.

Definitely 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry. It's a classic YA science fiction that explores a seemingly utopian but actually very complex and disturbing society. Another one is 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card. It has amazing world - building and a really engaging story about a young boy in a military - like space training program.

Realistic YA lit fiction often features relatable teenage characters. It deals with real - life issues like family problems, friendship drama, and school struggles. For example, 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' shows the protagonist's journey through high school, including his mental health issues and how he copes with them.
