Do any of these questions sound familiar to you?

Picture
  • I've written a children's book. Do I need an agent? If so, how do I find one?
  • Which publishers are open to me if I don't have an agent?
  • How do I find an editor who will like my manuscript?
  • An editor is interested in my manuscript, should I get an agent? 
  • An agent is interested in my manuscript, what do I do now?
  • How long do I wait before I follow up with an agent (or editor)? What do I say in the follow up? Why did the agent/editor express interest and then...crickets?
  • What's the difference between simultaneous and multiple submissions? Cover letter and query letter? Should I offer an exclusive?
  • How can I find a good freelance editor or someone to critique my manuscript?

These questions sound familiar to me; I've asked them myself as a children's book writer and answered them as an industry mentor. 

I will help you through the twists and turns of becoming a published children's book author. Let's work toward your dreams!
