Publishing Picture Books in the 21st Century
What's the best option for your story?
THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN RETIRED.
No longer are there only two paths diverged in a wood (traditional or self-publishing) when it comes to publishing picture books. Enterprising picture book authors have a multitude of options to get their work into the hands of children. What are these options, and how do you know which one is best for your story?
In this 45-minute video presentation, Julie Hedlund, who considers herself an nontraditional traditional picture book author, will share the ins and outs of publishing picture books in the 21st century and help you find the best route for your book.
Is the children's publishing industry a mystery to you? This is the place to start!
