Everything I'd hoped for, and then some!:
This is an excellent book for aspiring writers who want to publish a children's book, rich with advice and seasoned with experience.
I found it to be thorough, honest, and enormously helpful. Not only does it contain all the information I was looking for, but it also contains answers to questions I hadn't thought of... plus lots of helpful hints.
My copy of it is already "marked up" (the highest sign of appreciation for any book of mine) with notes and high-lightings. I've already read it... more info
THANK YOU AARON SHEPARD!!!:
All the other books like this are 1000 pages of self-indulgence by their authors. Aaron Shepard keeps it short and to the point.
Short and Sweet:
I confess I have three of Mr. Shepard's books. Why? Because, they are all straight to the point. The advice is not padded with trite page fill, such as, "Paint you home office mauve so you'll feel relaxed while writing." You can pay for a thicker book, but you won't get more information. The Business of Writing for Children gives you the facts you need to set off on the pathway to success. What else do you need?
Worth reading:
just wrote my first children's book did not know what to do with it after I was done. Great links and hints on how to get your book published through a publisher or to do self-publishing.
