Summary: Great book for beginners and pros
Comment: This wonderful work is a great starting point for anyone interested in writing children's books. It's filled with practical information that will help you get started and avoid making the mistakes that will brand you a newbie. Anytime I asked "Who, What, Where, When, Why or How do I...?, I found the answers contained within its pages. As a newly published children's author ("Nonsense! He Yelled"), I also found it answered my marketing and publicity questions--areas you might not be concerned with at first but will need to know when your book is in the stores. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Children's Books is crammed with concise information that's put together in an easy to read format. I highly recommend it.

Summary: A broad survey of what to do
Comment: If you're just, just, JUST getting started, this book will help you a lot. It's a very broad survey with a lot of information that will give you an idea of the field. But don't buy this book if you have a specific question. Need to know how to write query letters? Get John Wood's book, How to Write Attention-Grabbing Query and Cover Letters. Want to know about submission format? Look for some of the Writer's Digest books. Agents? There are hundreds of books on agents. Publishers? Come on, if you need information about publishers, just look. So...buy this book if you are, as the title says, a Complete Idiot when it comes to Publishing Children's Books. Otherwise, leave it alone.

Summary: A Must-Buy for Children's Writers
Comment: The first edition of this book was fantastic. The second edition has given readers wonderful new additions. There is now more information included for budding illustrators. More in-depth insights into the pros and cons of using an agent have also been added. Overall, this is a fabulous resource for anyone in the field--from the inexperienced writers just starting out to the more experienced authors out there.
