Foreword by bestselling and award-winning author Smriti Halls.
The indispensable guide to writing for children of all ages from
pre-school to young adults, this Yearbook provides inspirational
articles from dozens of successful writers and illustrators on how to
get your work published. It includes a directory of over a thousand
up-to-date listings with contacts from across the media and publishing
industry.
This bestselling Yearbook is full of practical advice on all stages of
the writing and illustration process from getting started, writing for
different markets and genres, and preparing an illustration portfolio,
through to submission to literary agents and publishers. It also covers
the financial, contractual and legal aspects of being a writer and
illustrator.
Widely recognised as the essential support for authors and illustrators
working across all forms: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, screen, audio
and theatre, it is equally relevant to those wishing to self-publish as
well as those seeking a traditional publisher-agent deal.
It includes advice from bestselling writers, such as Sarah Crossan,
Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Tom Palmer, David Wood and many more.
