How, where, what steps to take to publish a picture book for kids?
It’s a long and involved process to get a book published, but you can go through the current Writer’s Market to get an idea of how to get your book published. If you want, you can always self publish, or go with places like a vanity press, where publishing one’s book is far easier than trying to publish with the bigger houses. The thing I tell people is to take a look at the books that is most like the book you are writing, then go to the copyright pages and make note of the publisher’s information. You can review their submissions guidelines on their websites, but just to warn you, most of the major houses do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. I’d strongly suggest getting an agent (you’ll have to pay them a fee), but when and if a house solicits for manuscripts, literary agencies, like Writers House, are the ones they turn to. Most houses ask for a few sample chapters, and then a synopsis. You’ll have to include a SASE with your submission so that the house can mail you a response. E
