Foreword by Charlie Higson
The annual
edition of the best-selling guide to all aspects of the
media and how to write and publish words and
illustration for children and young adults, the
Children's Writers' & Artists' Yearbook is
now in its 10th edition. Acknowledged by the publishing
industry, authors and would-be writers as the
indispensable companion to navigating the world of
publishing for children, including young adults or
teenagers, it appears for the first time as an e-book
and in print.
The 70 articles are reviewed and
updated each year to provide inspirational and how-to
guidance on writing for children of all ages: creating
picture books for babies; writing series, fantasy,
historical and funny books for children from 0-5 years,
6-10 years and over; writing thrillers, crime and across
different genres for teenagers and young adults; what
publishers are looking for; how to contact publishers
and agents; managing finances as a writer; negotiating
legal issues, such as copyright; understanding the
editing process; self-publishing and conventional
routes; digital and print.
Every single one of
over 2,000 listings of who to contact, where and for
which disciplines across the whole media, are reviewed
and most updated, with new listings added every year.
The combination of up-to-date listings
information and expert advice, make the Yearbook
a topical and reliable resource; the perfect gift for
every writer for children every year.
