With over 800 places to sell your writing and illustrations, the Children's Writer's & Illustrators Market is a necessary reference for the children's writer. Many times people will tell me, "I've written a children's story and I don't know the next step. How to I get it published." This book tells it all. It's a regular Writing for Children 101. It has chapters that explain copyright law, proper manuscript formatting, whether to find an agent, and how to write a query letter. Whether your new to the publishing business or a seasoned professional, the Children's Writers & Illustrators market is an excellent and economical purchase that will help you sell your work.

This is a necessary, indespensible resource for anyone desiring to become published. It is completely detailed with every iota of info you could possibly need for submission. It also provides helpful anecdotes & facts about the whole process of getting published.

Let's be honest. In a field saturated by talented writers, there is no substitute for having some help from inside the industry. However, for any persistent writer or illustrator who has the talent, but no "in," there is no substitute for this listing, which gives one hope for publication without candy coating the difficult task of breaking into this field.

The listings are easy to use, and writer/illustrator-oriented, really bending over backwards to provide enough details about each potential publication company to prevent wasted effort. If you have an agent, or the means to get your manuscript or portfolio looked at by someone who matters, use that. But if not, use this book to maximize your effort and chances.
