Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market 1993
Lisa Carpenter · 1993
38/100
👎 Skip It
The Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market annual is a trusted resource in the children's publishing industry, and the series as a whole has served writers well for decades — but this 1993 edition is entirely obsolete. Every contact, payment rate, and submission guideline in it is outdated by more than thirty years, and the publishing landscape it describes no longer exists. There is no practical reason to read this edition when current annual editions are available.
