If you've written a manuscript, you just send the manuscript itself in to submit. Submission guidelines are on publishers websites or in Children's Writers and Illustrators Market (a book that comes out each year). I would suggest for you to join the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (www.scbwi.org). When you join, they'll send you info on the children's book industry and answer a lot of your questions. Also read the articles on Harold Underdown's website: www.underdown.orgKristi Valianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997984098630895653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35061338.post-8271112438536529632010-03-03T09:42:04.035-06:002010-03-03T09:42:04.035-06:00New to the publishing world.
