Dear Writer,
The most successful writers know they can double their chances of getting published by making sure their manuscripts go to the right contacts at the right publishers at the right times.
Successful children’s writers give themselves that advantage by keeping the latest Institute of Children’s Literature market directories—Magazine Markets for Children’s Writers 2008 and Book Markets for Children’s Writers 2008—within easy reach. |
We’re pleased to announce the just-published availability of our new, comprehensive, completely updated 2008 directories.
We invite you to
make good use of them for 30 days at no cost or obligation. No hassles. No questions asked. Guaranteed. Gives you a valuable competitive edge—because it’s what’s happening now! You may be familiar with our market directories, and even have an old one sitting on your desk. However, I can’t overemphasize the importance of using a current directory as your market guide, not last year’s.

To provide you with the kind of complete, accurate, and useful information that helps build sales and solid relationships with editors, our publisher listings are 100% updated and verified each year. Only in our new 2008 directories will you learn about: |

Book Markets for Children’s Writers 2008 lists over 570 publishers that combined to produce more than 30,000 titles.

How to make every submission count in 2008 |
|
Information about publishers becomes outdated quickly due to rapid changes in the children’s market: new editors, changed editorial requirements and needs, new addresses, plus all the changes due to mergers, business failures, and new business formations. That means that if you’re using old information, six out of ten of your submissions could be off target. So, if you want every submission to count, consider this: We’ve invested thousands of editorial hours and tens of thousands of dollars to make certain you have the most current and most accurate information available—100% updated and 100% verified—no matter how much the market changes. We want our writers to keep their advantage.
