Dear Author:

The most fun I’ve ever had as a writer … and the greatest satisfaction … was from writing my published children’s books.

And … thanks in large part to J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter … the market for children’s books is stronger than ever, despite stiff competition from personal computers, the Internet, and video games.

In 2006, sales of juvenile paperbacks increased 10.1% over the previous year. Total children’s book sales for this year are forecast to exceed $4.3 billion.

But with the booming demand for children’s books comes booming competition: of the 5,000 unsolicited manuscripts the typical midsize or large children’s book publisher receives every year, only 1% to 2% will actually be purchased and published.

That’s where our new e-book Writing Children’s Books for Fun and Profit can help. In it, Maurcia Houck and I share our insider’s tips – and long years of experience – to show you how to write a saleable children’s book and sell it to a publishing house.
