The Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market annual has been a valuable industry resource for decades, but the 2002 edition is now more than twenty years out of date β€” publisher contacts, pay rates, and submission guidelines it lists are almost entirely obsolete. It has no practical value as a current submission guide; pick up the most recent edition instead. This one is for publishing historians only.

✦ Penny’s Take β€” this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β€” not a page-by-page personal one. The gold βœ“ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
