Publishers Description: Childrens book publishing is one of the most specialized publishing genres-and one of the most difficult to break into. And whats more, authors today dont just want to know how to write or illustrate picture books-they want to know how to become the next J. K. Rowling or Lemony Snicket! With the success of mega-hits such as the Harry Potter and Series of Unfortunate Events books, along with the visual appeal of picture books, authors and illustrators are clamouring to get involved and often get bogged down in an unknown world of agents, rights, subrights, and licensing. Dont get caught up in all the confusion! Pick up The Complete Idiots Guide to Publishing Childrens Books, Third Edition, and youll have all the essentials for storytelling success in the palm of your hands. In this fully revised, comprehensive guide, childrens book editor and authority Harold Underdown provides potential authors and illustrators with tips, inside information, and detailed instructions on everything from how to prepare a proposal or query to how to get an agent or artists rep. Detailing the differences and intricacies among picture books, juvenile fiction, and young adult novels, this book also covers branding, series development, and licensing-all essential facets of childrens book publishing today.
