The best advice on writing and publishing for children

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Foreword by award-winning illustrator Smriti Prasadam-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 best-selling writers, such as Sarah Crossan, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Frances Hardinge, Tom Palmer, David Wood, Lauren Child and many more.
