book was in excellent condition but delivery time was poor. I had to wait for weeks before it came. Contacted seller twice.:
I had to wait and wait for this book to come. I contacted seller twice but received no response as to when it would be shipped. I doubt that I'll buy from this seller again.
A must have for the children's illustrator/writer!:
Besides the excellent listings in the back for publishing houses, agents, contests and websites, this book is full of great articles and interviews. A must have for any writer and/or illustrator of Children's books. Very helpful and informative.
2010 Children's Writer's Market will be helpful.:
Many other authors recommended this book, which arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I am certain it will be of great help to me.
A sure help in a challenging market:
Extremely well laid out, this iconic book is valuable to get a birds-eye view about the Children's Book market and personal remarks from some of its known publishers and agents. (I really enjoyed these "Q&A" interviews with editors, author suggestions and other 'side-bars'.) Still, this book is what I would call a 'scaffolding tool'. I mean, you have to read this book with an attentive spirit, take a lot of the information seriously, but then RESEARCH more. AND do not take all items stated as 'Bible'.... more info
