5.0 out of 5 stars Great companion to the CWIM, August 28, 2005
This review is from: Writer's & Illustrator's Guide to Children's Book Publishers and Agents, 2nd Edition: Who They Are! What They Want! And How to Win Them Over! (Writer's Guide) (Paperback)
This is a great book offering guidelines to publishers and agents and is an excellent companion to the CWIM. If you write kidlit and want to be published, get an agent or find out the latest guidelines for magazine and book publishers, this book often has more in its listings than the CWIM. It's great to confirm editor's names and other pertinent info. too. This is the first time I've ordered this book and I'm glad I did. In some ways, I like it even better than the CWIM (Children's writers/illustrators markets)

2.0 out of 5 stars outdated, inacurate, July 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Writer's & Illustrator's Guide to Children's Book Publishers and Agents, 2nd Edition: Who They Are! What They Want! And How to Win Them Over! (Writer's Guide) (Paperback)
At first I was very happy with the book until I researched several of the publishers listed as accepting unsolicited manuscripts and found that that was no longer true. One publisher even stated online that since 2008 they have not been accepting unsolicited manuscripts but the book, published in 2011, said they still did. Five out of ten publishers I researched had different information than the book published. All in all I'm dissapointed with the whole book publishing industry, authors that don't research publishers and flood publishers with manuscripts that don't fit their list, and also this inacurate, incompletely researched book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Review: Guide for Illustrators & Writers, January 8, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Writer's & Illustrator's Guide to Children's Book Publishers and Agents, 2nd Edition: Who They Are! What They Want! And How to Win Them Over! (Writer's Guide) (Paperback)
In making the decision to move my career forward, I searched for the perfect most up to date book available and one that meets my needs. I found it in this book and on Amazon. As I read through this book I am leaving post-its on pages inside this book, of essential information I will refer back to when I reach the section of the publishers I will want to contact for work. At this moment during my review, I am only in the "how to reach them" sections. As someone who has been able to draw since the age of two and has learned also how to write a good story, I now want to do this for publishers as well as be published myself. I believe I will find the answers here! Look for my work at [...] and on Amazon.com under the author name JP Denyer!
