How to Write Children’s Books

Featuring Experts Bryan Judge, president Institute of Children's Literature and Patti Pfitsch, award-winning children's book author, Institute graduate, and instructor

The children and teen market is huge. There are more than 500 book publishers and 600 magazines publishers vying to buy manuscripts from freelance writers.

My local newspaper ran an article about 20 local writers and illustrators who had published children’s books in the previous year. Of these, three were first time authors. That’s why I brought together a successful children’s book author to share her journey and the head of a company that has helped launch the careers of thousands of aspiring writers to talk about what it takes to succeed in this interesting career.

Together they will answer such frequently asked questions as:How to Become a Successful Children's Book Writer

  • How do you learn to write a children’s book?
  • How do you go about getting published?
  • Who publishes works for children and teens?
  • What kind of income could someone expect to earn writing for this market?

These are just a few of the topics covered in this fascinating audio program.

 

Listen in as Brian and Patricia answer frequently asked questions about writing for children:
