Children's Writers' and Artists' Yearbook 2009 (Children's Writers' & Artists' Yearbook): A Directory for Children's Writers and Artists Containing Children's ... and Practical Advice and Information An excellent resource for writers of childrens picture books, fiction and non fiction. Wouldn't be without it as it gives up to date details of all publishers, agents and other valuable information.

A brilliant book, containing pretty much every piece of information a children's writer could need. And very good value for money too, considering how much information is in here. I would definitely recommend this annual book.
