A Must For All Writers Of Childrens Stories
This is the first time I have tried this publication and found it very interesting. It seems to be packed with all the information a writer of a children's novel might need. From articles by children's authors to agents and publishers, this book has it all

Although I am not published yet, I would like to think that if i do - it is because I have used the information here.
