Tips for Writing Children's Picture Books - video
Are you getting ready to write a children's book? Do you intend to both write and illustrate it? Eddie Gamarra, literary manager and producer at The Gotham Group, warns that may not be the wisest course. Unless you're a visual artist, Gamarra says, focus instead on writing the best book you can. If you're a writer, write. Let an illustrator take your story and work on the visual aspects. You should certainly be involved, but don't try and do work you're not suited to doing.

Thanks very much for producing a read article. I use a library computer and have no sound access so can't use all the listen and watch articles. I have already written and published two children's books...
