 | A must have for the children's illustrator/writer! Dec 22, 2009 |
| Besides the excellent listings in the back for publishing houses, agents, contests and websites, this book is full of great articles and interviews. A must have for any writer and/or illustrator of Children's books. Very helpful and informative. | | |  | 2010 Children's Writer's Market will be helpful. Nov 22, 2009 |
| Many other authors recommended this book, which arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I am certain it will be of great help to me. | | | | A sure help in a challenging market Oct 31, 2009 |
Extremely well laid out, this iconic book is valuable to get a birds-eye view about the Children's Book market and personal remarks from some of its known publishers and agents. (I really enjoyed these "Q&A" interviews with editors, author suggestions and other 'side-bars'.) Still, this book is what I would call a 'scaffolding tool'. I mean, you have to read this book with an attentive spirit, take a lot of the information seriously, but then RESEARCH more. AND do not take all items stated as 'Bible'. As a reference book, it's already aging!
For example, there is a superb section "Book Publishers". Most publishers are listed. With each listing is the address & webpage, acquisition team info' (editors, etc.), the type of books they publish, how to contact them and other information. However, a writer intended to be published, must go to each website, cross reference and update the information you find.
I bought this book in 8/2009 (mind you this IS a 2010 reference) and in my own efforts, looking at each publisher's web site, I found enough info' in the "Book Publishers" section to be 'incorrect'. Of course this makes sense...the book was likely written and finalized at the beginning of this year!
Keep in mind, the market is fluid, editors change jobs, companies are tightening their acquisition preferences and some have very, very clear specifics relative to how and what to submit and most importantly, even if you should submit a manuscript(Seriously, some even tell you their preferred envelope type. FOLLOW their directions to a 't').
Do you homework! Good luck! | | | | Very helpful! Oct 19, 2009 |
| The 2010 edition of the Children's writer's & Illustrator's Market is very helpful and useful. I also have the 2009 edition - and this one does have new publishers, agents, etc. I would be lost without it! | | | | Must Have Sep 27, 2009 |
This book is a "must have" for anyone writing for children. It contains everything you need to know in order to find a publisher that fits your needs. You will also find pertinent information on the types of manuscripts particular publishers are interested in seeing and the requirements for submissions. I can't do without it!
