How to Publish Your Children's Book

A Complete Guide to Making the Right Publisher Say Yes

By: Liza N. Burby

It is a place where ogres and wizards live in enchanted forests. It is also the home of editors, publishers, art directors, and marketers. It is the world of children's book publishing. For writers who hope to have their stories published, though, it has always been one of the most confusing places to navigate -- until now. Based on a career of two decades, award-winning writer Liza N. Burby has put together a complete guide to making the right children's book publisher say yes. "How to Publish Your Children's Book" starts off by helping you define your book's category, audience, and marketplace so that you know exactly where your book "fits in." Following this, you are guided in choosing the best publishing companies for your book, and writing a winning submission package. Then the Square One System tells you exactly how to submit your package so that you optimize success, while minimizing your time, cost, and effort. Also included is a special section on contracts that will turn legalese into plain English, allowing you to be a savvy player in the contract game. Most important, this book will help you avoid the common errors that so often prevent writers from reaching their goal. Throughout each chapter, you will find practical tips and advice from experienced editors and publishers, as well as insights from popular children's authors such as Jane Yolen and Johanna Hurwitz. Whether you're just thinking about writing a children's book or you are a published author, you're sure to find "How to Publish Your Children's Book" a solid reference you can turn to time and time again.
