Summary

"The world of publishing has changed dramatically in the ten years since this popular book first started helping aspiring children's book writers and illustrators. Now here it is again, brimming with the same popular features - true "case histories," writing exercises, checklists, reading lists, and two complementary perspectives on each step of the writing, illustrating, and publishing process - but also updated with new information and features reflecting current realities and trends. Now learn how you can compete with celebrity authors and name-brand series; how you can write, research, and even illustrate on the computer; how you can communicate with publishers via e-mail and the Internet."--BOOK JACKET.
