Does anyone know how I can publish my children's story? It's for my nephew. I can't seem to find a way to go about it. I do not have an agent. I have never been professionaly published. Is there a list of publishers that publish children's story books? It's not a chapter book. And do I need to illistrate it? I want to publish adult works later, but this is what I would like to publish first.
Can anyone help, PLEASE?
Does anyone have a list of publishers? Much thanks.
I do have a writers group about to get in session. I'm not asking about critiquing, I asking about the final project, when everything is said and done, all editing, all critiquing, how do I publish my work?
If you just want a few books nicely printed to give as gifts, then self publishing is the way to go.
However, if you seriously want to get published, I suggest that you join a writer's group and read lots of books about the craft and business of writing.
You'll aways be guessing about the quality of your work until you get some real critics to read it—and I'm not talking about friends and family—you need people who are knowledgable about the kind of writing that you do, who are also not afraid to tell you what's wrong with your work.
When you find someone like that, always be appreciative of their time and honesty. As a writer, they are one of your best assets.
I'm not trying to say anything negative about your writing–I'v never seen it—but I've met too many writers who are sure they have nothing left to improve.
I'm 34 and about to have my first child – I thought I'd start hunting around on Ebay for some of the books and toys that meant so much to me when I was growing up. Does anyone have any particular favourites I might get some ideas from? I'd have never learnt to spell without Ant & Bee!
I Love You Forever
Great book, first book I read that wasn't for school, and the first book I read on my own. I have some of it memorized by now… I love you forever, I like you for always, but as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be! soo sweet, it used to be my favorite book. Now that I'm not 6, when i read it i actually understand some of it other than "the boy flushed the watch down the toilet, and he was very naughty" it makes me want to cry sometimes
Also does it take four years of college to get a degree in Early Childhood Education or can I get one in two years?
In some states, this is an associate degree. You could be a para at a school, a substitute teacher, or work in a day care setting. Check for your state requirements and think about visiting a career counselor at your local high school or college**FAN
