Summary: Not just for idiots
Comment: I have never conceived of myself as a language person, preferring to communicate through body art, and sometimes logical calculus. For this reason, I believed my dream of writing a bestselling series of children's novels would remain forever beyond my reach. Well, reading this book finally got my creative juices flowing, and now even my perpetually lachrymose agent is optimistic about my series of adventure novels for the Christian youth market. Get ready for Jerry Slaughter and the Painted Strumpet!

Summary: Highly useful book: Don't buy the ebook
Comment: I'm the author of this book, and I'm posting this review of the Microsoft Reader edition because I want people to think twice about this particular format. The print edition is being sold here on Amazon for less. Another problem is that although Microsoft Reader ebooks can be downloaded into a PDA or laptop, making them easily portable, they do not keep the original design of the print book. Since Idiots Guides are carefully designed to make them readable and easy to use, this is a significant loss. So I think you should get the print edition.
If you must have an ebook version, get the Adobe Reader version. Amazon is not selling it for some reason, but it's available from at least one other reputable site. If you can't find it, please come to my web site, The Purple Crayon, where I have sample chapters from my book and links to purchase it from various sources. One of this is a link to the Abode ebook version. (I would give you the URL but I believe that Amazon does not allow them in reviews).
For reviews of the book itself, please read the several reviews of the print version, or come to my site and see some others.

Summary: You'd Be An Idiot Not to Read This Book
Comment: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Children's Books is the most comprehensive book on writing for children available. If you teach writing it is an invaluable resource. It breaks all the basics down to bite-sized chunks so any beginner can find the information he/she needs. If you have a question about writing, selling, or publishing for children-- this book is the place to start to find your answer. The index is great and the glossary is very useful. The sidebars and illustrations make the information easy to find. You'd have to complete the Institute for Children's Literature courses to find better information, and that is very costly in terms of time and money.
