Children’s Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook 2022

This comprehensive guide serves as an essential toolkit for aspiring children's authors and illustrators, offering both practical publishing advice and creative inspiration from established professionals. The 2022 edition delivers current industry contacts, submission guidelines, and step-by-step guidance through the entire writing process—from initial concept development to navigating different children's book markets and age categories.
