How To write a Childrens Book And Get It Published

Irrespective of which genre you are trying to get published in – science fiction, romance, children’s market, or any other genre – you likely have questions. This is most commonly the case with new or unpublished authors. The most common questions asked by authors who haven’t yet been published are listed below. Many of the most frequent questions asked by those who are new to the field of publishing are included.

Question: Is it easy to get a book published?

It is certainly a very achievable goal, but you should be aware that most writers only receive rejection letters. With that being said, even if you do receive a rejection letter or even multiple letters for that matter, it is important not to give up. Any well-known and successful authors that you can name only became successful because they did not allow their rejections to stop them. You’ll need to be patient, and allow for time to let you find the right publisher who suits your book the best.

Question: How much money can I make?

How much money you will make honestly will depend. The length of your book, the genre you are writing in, and the publisher you are publishing through all determine exactly how much a writer will make. Longer works, on average, are more likely to make more money, because they are considered more valuable.

Question: Do I need to have a literary agent?

If you do any research online, you will see a large number of people who advocate getting a literary agent. You will encounter some publishers who will not work with authors without an agent but this is not universally true, however. If you cannot afford the cost of an agent, consider getting your book published on your own first or hiring a literary agent to assist you.

Question: How do I find book publishers?

One of the easiest approaches to take is with the purchase of the Writer’s Market guide or another similar resource. By separating each publisher by genre and outlining what their requirements are, this guide can be very helpful. While you can utilize the research efforts of many online websites that list which publishers do accept manuscripts, you will have more luck in visiting the individual publishers websites. Many times, these websites will also give outlines of detailed information that is useful to writers and would typically be in a writer’s guide.

Question: What are my chances of being published?

There is no one determining factor that will decide how difficult it is for you to obtain the dream of getting your book published. Take a good look at how many publishers you have approached because the more you make contact with, the more likely you are to be successful in securing a deal. To further help you, look at the average number of books that your Writer’s Guide says each publisher publishes each year. This is a good indicator of your chances at being published. Most importantly of all, don’t let the rejection letters force you to quit.
