How to get started writing Children's books?

Question

Hi,

If you are someone who has been successful in getting one or more children's books published, please let me know how you got started. Any tips are appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

It is very difficult to get published.  My co-worker and I have created a Art curriculum and teachers manual that we are trying to get published.

There are writer's guides available at bookstores and the library that can help.  When submitting a proposal, they sometimes say to enclose a self addressed envelope if you want the material back.  I always enclose the SASE.  At least then you know, if you get your stuff back, that somebody took the time to open up what you sent, instead of throwing it in the wastebasket.  We have thought about getting an agent, but haven't started that process.  Good Luck to you in your search.
