Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Children's Books by Harold D. Underdown and Lynne Rominger invites novices into its pages with plenty of white space, clearly labeled sections and humorous line drawings. Sidebars offer "Vocabulary List" words with definitions of industry lingo (such as ISBNs); "Stories from the Playground," with practical advice from published pros; and "Can You Keep a Secret?," with hints on a range of topics, including how to approach an editor at a conference and how to "write using active rather than passive constructions whenever you can."

Detailing the differences between picture books, juvenile fiction, and the young adult novel, the book also covers branding, series, and licensing, discusses writing styles and character development, and explains forming illustrator partnerships.
