OK IF YOU LIVE IN THE STATES,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market 2003 (Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book if you live in the States, but as it is on an English web site I expected it to be, at least in part, about English markets. It isn't.

This has now been updated by a newer version,
By
This review is from: Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market 2003 (Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market) (Paperback)
Please note this has now been superseded by the 2005 edition - see "Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market Alice Pope (Editor)" ISBN: 1582972737. Note also, that the subject matter is almost exclusively US and Canadian markets.Which does not, of course, mean that the book is of no practical use. Please take a look at my review of the 2005 edition for an explanation of its value to UK writers and illustrators.

A Must if You're a Children's Writer or Illustrator,
By FictionAddiction.NET - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market 2003 (Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market) (Paperback)
Find out what to do before your first sale. How to negotiate a contract. Protect your rights. Pay your taxes as a writer. And that's just the first 20 pages. The "2003 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market" contains close to 400 pages of children's publishers, agents and magazines looking for your work. If you write children's literature or you're an illustrator for children's books, this yearly guide contains more than 800 potential markets for you to get your work in print. Each listing shows contact names, addresses, Web sites, phone numbers, submission guidelines, pay rates and more. A majority of publishers also share tips on how you can increase your manuscript's chances of being accepted within their publishing house. You'll also find articles on critique groups, picture books structure, promotion, creating stories, how to write for children and more. And on the other side of the publishing fence, you'll find insider reports from top illustrators, novelists, editors and publishers, all geared toward the children's writer. Plus, greeting card opportunities, play publishers, clubs, organizations, contests, awards and grants are all covered as well. There's even a special section for agents representing children's authors. Every year Writer's Digest Books updates their annual guides. Even if you have last year's "Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market," you need the current edition. With market needs constantly changing as well as contact names, you need the most up-to-date information to increase your chances of getting published. No other guide increases those chances more. 39 of 45 people found the following review helpful:

No Articles For Illustrators,
By disappointed illustrator - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market 2003 (Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market) (Paperback)
This book is a must have for anyone serious about entering or continuing in this market. It contains all the most up-to-date submission information direct from the publishers themselves. My only complaint, and its a big one, is that they seemed to forget about us illustrators when compiling the articles. How disappointing. It's tough enough for us that the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators requires us to pay the same membership fees and conference fees while dedicating only a fraction of their offerings (workshops and articles in newsletters) to the illustrators. Now Reader's Digest Books (the publisher of this book) is following suit.
