Writing children’s books

Have you ever considered writing a children’s book? I know I’ve been toying with the idea for some time, but until recently I really hadn’t explored the nuts-and-bolts aspects of actually submitting the story once I have it written.

It may sound strange that I’d be looking into the market before I’ve finished anything, but as someone who’s done a lot of advertising work in the past, it’s something I’m used to doing. It was worth the initial research I did.

If you’ve been thinking of getting into the world of children’s books or stories, Here are some links you might find incredibly valuable.

The Children’s Book Council, Inc. is the nonprofit trade association of publishers and packagers of trade books and related materials for children and young adults

The Purple Crayon: Information on Writing, Illustrating, and Publishing Children’s Books.

*Writing Children’s Books* Aaron Shepard’s kidwriting page.

From these sites you’ll be able to pull together a much larger list to visit, including publishers, editors and independants.

Here’s wishing you luck on your writing journey.
