Thank you for this most helpful information. I have self published my first children’s book, Freckles. Can I Play Wiyh You? Will be out in two months. I have four more books in the series ready. I am looking for an agent. Janet
Would you suggest to self publish a children’s book after going through the process yourself?
I have gone through this process myself several times. I found it to be very enlightening. It involves a lot of your time. If you are willing to do this. I also have presently a book out ages 5 to 10. “Sally to the Rescue.” (Cheryl Leach.) I have book signings locally and expanding. Skypng to several classrooms in Florida. I am looking for an agent for my next book. The ages are 8 to 10. All my stories are Maine based as I am from Maine and like to write about the diversity my state has to offer.
Looking for an children’s book agent to throw some ideas around. I have 6 already written and hoping to do more
