ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR
Literary Agents run across people every day and everywhere who want to write children's books. (Seriously: The checker at the supermarket. The customs officer at the airport. THE DENTIST.) After all, we all have memories of books that made an impression on us as kids, and maybe even changed our lives -- and who wouldn't want to have that same profound impact on children of today? Plus, books for children are so SIMPLE to write, right? Well... maybe not so much.
In fact, writing fantastic children's books is just about the toughest form of writing there is -- just because they are short, doesn't mean they are easy! In this candid and informative presentation, Senior Agent Jennifer Laughran reveals "trade secrets" of the kids book biz, and helps you on your way to making a career out of writing for children. And ALL the questions you have about publishing will be answered.
