Young adults are in the prime position to write children's books, because they can actually remember what it was like to be a kid. Jake Marcionette, for example, reached the NY Times bestseller list at the age of 12. His books for middle grades are praised for having such a realistic, authentic voice.

This book gives the young audience everything they need to know to successfully write and publish a children's book, from understanding the children's book market to learning about illustrations and design. Top publishers and writers in the industry have lent their expertise to this book to provide an overview of the entire process, including:

  • what morals and values publishers and readers look for in good children's books
  • what material is appropriate for each age range
  • how to convey messages in a way that appeals to both parents and children
  • how to build a relationship with your editor and what to expect in revisions
  • and what to expect in a book deal and the process of selling your book

Any young adult that is interested in starting any kind of writing career will learn valuable tips and tricks to understanding the publishing market with this conversational, easy-to-read book.
