Big help to me!

Very helpful book but some outdated/inapplicable info

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

What a great find! I found this book very helpful. Getting all this info together by doing google search would take me ages, so purchasing this book saved me a whole lot of time.
Also - loved the articles regarding blogging, writing, finding an agent and other tips from published authors.
One point of criticism - not all agents listed actually take children's book authors even though this book is specifically targeted for "children's writers and illustrators". Some of the agents entries state specifically "no children's books", so you still have to read all the agents' info thoroughly.
Please filter these out for the next edition.
Also - some info is outdated, like a contest dated 2018 (and no contest this year)... Other contests only take young adult but no children's literature. In my view not the right fit for this book.

A bit misleading

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

A lot of good info, but many agencies listed specify that they don't accept children's books... This is supposedly a book of agencies, publishers, etc., specifically for children's books. Also very few resources for illustrators thus far. I am not quite through it all yet, but got pretty annoyed after yet another agency listing which does not accept children's books. Seriously needs a better editor if so many of these slipped through. If I wanted to wade through all the agencies that don't apply to what I need I could have just gotten the regular writer's market.

Very few appropriate contests to enter

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

One of the highlights of this book each year is the contest section. While I may never find an editor, there is a chance I could win a contest. Most of the contests in this book are specific, e.g., you must live in a certain country, or state., or your book must already be published. I gave this book a three star rating because it did not fulfill my need.

Nothing like it used to be

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020

I used to love this marketing book, so helpful for writers and illustrators of children's books. It had great original articles written by people in the industry. I pitched one myself which was published in CWIM years ago. Now, apparently, it costs the publisher nothing to put this book together. The articles are reprints from WD books or the magazine. Most are generic, not specific to the children's book industry. There are MISTAKES all over. The interview with Jacqueline Woodson says she wrote the Newbery Honor book The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. She did not. Sloppy copyediting is one thing, but mistakes in an industry guide are egregious. I found others. Worse, the marketing section listing publishers guidelines repeated information: "How to Contact: Query. Responds only if interested. Query. Responds only if interested. Query. Responds only if interested. Terms: Pays royalty on retail price. Offers advance. Pays royalty on retail price. Pays advance." *Many* entries are written like this. Often "Terms," which is supposed to list advance offered, flat-fee, etc., says "Catalog online." I don't know why Writer's Digest, a company I normally respect, would change a fine, helpful product to something so shoddy. Not worth $2 much less $30.

The Editor & publisher should be embarrassed

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

As someone new to the industry I am SHOCKED at how poorly this guide edited. The reference section alone is so poorly compiled I'm second guessing any information in the entire book! This is supposed to be "The Guide" on the Children's literature market and its laughable...What other resources are there out there? I cannot believe I paid $30 for this--what a joke.
