Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This has basic details about writing children's stories, selling to publishers or direct sales, promoting, and self-publishing. ISBN and bar code resources are listed for self-publishers as well as a wide variety of other print and online resources. It was created as a teaching and review text which allows time for critiques of students' stories and articles in eight week writing classes and writing workshops.




Rating: - A Basic Guide to Writing, Selling, and Promoting Children's Books : Plus Information about Self-publishing
I didn't realize that this book was a small 38 page book. Even though it has an ISBN number....it looks like someone printed it out from their computer and stapled it together. There are a few good points listed in the book....but I think it should have been a little longer....or at least each subject discussed should of had a little more detail.

An historical famous author is noted to have said in a long-winded letter to a friend, "I would have written a shorter letter but I didn't have enough time." ... Read More

Rating: - Not bad
This is a fair book, if your expectations are not too high. It's a lot like going to an evening talk at your library by a local children's author (which is quite possibly how this booklet started out). You learn some basics, lose some false concepts, get a view of the territory, benefit from tips drawn from the author's personal experience, receive some handouts from more authoritative sources (about a fifth of the book is reprinted from membership materials of the Society of Children's Book Writers and ...
