How to Write a Children's Book and Get It Published

I would definately recommend this book if you are serious about writing for children. Very useful, easy to understand and it covers all the ins and outs of the basics for writing for children and other negotiations etc.

Barbara Seuling was my instructor when I took a two-year writing course in writing children's literature from The Institute of Children's Literature. Ms. Seuling is exceedingly knowledgeable, skillful, talented, and very practical about writing children's literature and getting it published. Also, she writes instructions that are very easy to understand. I highly recommend this book.

How to Write a Children's book and get it published by Barbara Seuling is a very informative book for those who are just starting in the business of children's books--Although the book has a brief chapter on illustrating children's books, this section could have been expanded to be more useful to both those of us who are illustrators and those who write and illustrate their own books.

After reading this concise and highly informative guide on how to break into the children's book market, I immediately sought online tutoring from this frank and knowledgeable author-editor in one of her AOL classes. In ten words or less: if you want to get published, first go to Barbara.

This book was and is a concise account of the how-tos of the Childrens Picture Book world. From writing, to submission process, everything a would-be CPB author/illustrator needs is in here. In addition to her book, I have taken her AOL online class and found her to be informative, organized, and a concise constructive critic. It was her book and her course that enabled me to successfully complete my first picture book. I highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to publish picture books.
