Book Markets for Children's Writers

66/100

This is a solid, no-nonsense directory for writers hunting down children's book publishers and agents — hundreds of real listings plus practical advice on rights and contracts. It's a reference tool more than a read, though, so its shine fades as editions age and it won't teach you to actually write the book.

✦ Penny’s Take — 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 — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
