Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Time and heart.

1. Target the subject.
   
   - Get a topic of personal interest and create a good subject on it. You must make sure you are passionate about the work you will place. An editor isn't going to be enthusiastic about a book if you're not in love with your book.
   - What type of research will will make it interesting, or successful.
   - You must know that children's editors today require first-rate publication, and work that has good sources from research.

   Your best writing should be in a series of what have you done to interest people.
   - You must practice your skills in order to write and conclude great stories.
   - Also, go to writer's conferneces, or join a debating forum for writers.
   - The more courses you take in the craft the will only increase you chances of getting published.
   - If you join a group the helps and critique the works of writers your chances of spotting small parts are even greater.
   - You must all wasy work at your craft, and gain the right equipment.

3. Audience Targeting
   
   You should find out what audience that you would like to target.
   - You should see what age you want to attract.
   - Should find out what reading level you are going to submit.
   - Finding an interest in your articles.
   - Make sure you have a voice in the writing.

4. Target the Competiton
   
   Are the books you are writing in the same comparison as yours.
   - When writing in one genre make sure it has more research than the next.
   - Make sure you know what else is out there because you can sumbit the same idea.
   - Make sure you have a different slant in your story.

5. Target the Market
   
   - Make sure your book attacks that market.
   - If your book is a trade, plan your research in that market.
   - Get as much information on the religous, and crossover mass-market.
   - If it is an educational book please have your market area and facts together.

6. Targeting the publisher
   
   You should have a huge proposal plan when you target a publisher. You should emial them the idea of the topic before you have done it. Always copyright the idea on an online publication. This will save your head line from being taken.

7. Targeting the Editor.
   
   When targeting the editor you should have a three things. A good writing Resume, a decent proposal for the book. The Book should be in good quality and edited version. Your proposal letter should be on the same level as the book. A good book and a bad proposal letter make the book bad before it starts.

8. Then you must be able to market the book as you send your proposals around. The thoery is to wait for a publisher to contact you back, but in this world of writing they might never make a connection. So getting the write people behind you will help your chances of getting published.

9. It is good to have all of the thing you written down copywritten. If you place them online some where, it allows your ideas to stay with you as long as you have that space online and active.

10. Always search for the publisher, and don't allow them to set you back. If one publisher says no, then the next one might say yes. Some companies have interest that your writing my or not fit in where they are trying to go.

Tips & Warnings

• If you can't find a good publishing company try searching "Book Markets for Children's Writers," or Publisher Guide.
• Don't wait for the company to contact you on your work. You must be forceful with your work until that say, NO, your work is not in our plans. Even then you don't stop, you just improve on the work and make your resume impossible to ignore.

on 1/7/2009 First of all, when you don't even spell thinks correctly I am a little less likely to believe you know your material. We're talking about getting published here and something as basic as grammar is overlooked.
