What Customers Say About The Business of Writing for Children: An Award-Winning Author's Tips on Writing Children's Books and Publishing Them, or How to Write, Publish, and Promote a Book for Kids:

I found this book to be helpful and informative. I think no matter where you are in the writing process, you will benefit from this book. Thanks Aaron.

The book was okay, but I guess I expected more info than I received from reading it.

You won't regret it. I can't recommend Aaron Shepard's book highly enough.

How wrong I was. With 25 published books (and a few awards thrown in), I thought I probably knew all I needed to know about writing books for children.

I KNOW this book is going to help me with further books, and with the market as tough as it's getting to be, I think we writers and wannabe writers need all the help we can get. I happened accidentally to find THE BUSINESS OF WRITING FOR CHILDREN WHILE BROWSING AMAZON, and thought to myself, "Why not.", and ordered a copy.

It was the best idea I've had in a very long time. Run, don't walk, to the nearest order form, and order a copy.

- Barbara Brooks Wallace, who wrote PEPPERMINTS IN THE PARLOR, and other books.

plus lots of helpful hints. This is an excellent book for aspiring writers who want to publish a children's book, rich with advice and seasoned with experience. My copy of it is already "marked up" (the highest sign of appreciation for any book of mine) with notes and high-lightings. I found it to be thorough, honest, and enormously helpful. Not only does it contain all the information I was looking for, but it also contains answers to questions I hadn't thought of. I've already read it twice and I know I'll be reading it again.-Hannah K. Knott

All the other books like this are 1000 pages of self-indulgence by their authors. Aaron Shepard keeps it short and to the point.
