So you want to write / illustrate / publish a book?
Happy to hear it!
Here are some wonderful resource pages for starting off with children's books:
Debbie Ridpath Ohi's website has a wonderful collection of instruction and downloadable resources. Start here: Resources for Book Creators
Jeanette Bradley has a Resources for Creators page that is very helpful, including this PDF about hiring and working with an illustrator if you are planning to self-publish.
If you haven't already, take a look at the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), and consider joining! It is a great community to meet friends and get feedback on your kidlit journey. They have local and national conferences, critique opportunities, and great resources about the industry.
