About THE BOOK:
hands-on tool is designed to guide children’s book writers and
illustrators through their publishing careers. It is available in
hard copy and online to SCBWI members.
It contains new and essential articles featuring such topics as
maximizing social media, creating book trailers, best practices in
independent publishing, and grassroots promotion. A highlight of THE
BOOK is the up-to-the-minute Market Survey, which includes a
comprehensive house by house listing of editors, art directors and key
personnel. Other directories include The International Market Survey,
The Book Reviewers Directory, The Agents Directory, and a unique feature
called Edited By, in which editors have been personally surveyed to
provide a history of their recent acquisitions. Key resources include an
annotated bibliography of essential reference books for any aspiring
children’s book author or illustrator, as well as a current listing of
bloggers, reviewers, grants and awards.
