Writing for children - Linda Strachan

Many people want to write for children but are often unaware of the
wide variety of markets to choose from or how to find the right
publisher for their idea. Aimed at both established and aspiring
writers, this book aims to offer advice on the whole publishing process
from initial idea through to final publication and beyond.

All the key areas of children's publishing are covered: picture
books, fiction, poetry, plays, non fiction, educational books, books
for reluctant readers. There will also be useful advice for the newly
published on publicity, setting up a website, tax and accounting, and
handling school/library author visits.
