Childrens Books Publishing - article about Childrens Books Publishing

Anyone who tries to make you pay for the privilege of being published is a scam artist. This is called vanity publishing. It has been a trick for decades – making authors pay money to print a small run of their books under the foolish belief that that is the very first step to getting big. And no where is it bigger than in childrens books publishing. Everyone, after all believes that they can publish children's books, if given a little bit of help, and possibly some coaching by a senior writer. Well, let me tell you, that is a load of hokum. Although it is not the very most demanding area of writing, nonetheless, childrens books publishing still does take quite a bit of talent and ability, so forget about it if you think that there is nothing to it. I know, after all. I have made my living from childrens books publishing for about 25 years now, and I am still going strong.

In the end, childrens books publishing is still the best place to start out, but do not be suckered in to thinking that it is easy, or that it is a sure bet. If you do want to be an author, you had better get used to disappointment, because there is always quite a bit of disappointment before your first success. The world of childrens books publishing is as dog eat dog as any other realm of publishing. The childrens books publishers are rigorous and demanding, and require only the very best and most marketable writing. You had better be up to it if you wish to succeed. Can you do the work?
