Jennifer, who has 15 years experience with more than 20 children’s books published, offers an extremely readable and well-organized how-to book for children’s authors. Her book provides 200 + pages of information on what it takes to write and sell stories and nonfiction for the children’s book and magazine market.

Stellar book! [ No Rating ] 13 Apr 2008
In Becoming a Children’s Author, Reed does her usual stellar job of mentoring the new children's writer through the process of writing for publication. She freely shares the wisdom, knowledge and experience she has gained from working on both sides of the editor's desk. This book is really two books in one, a guide to getting published and a guide to becoming a children's writer. Packed with information, resources and guidance in an easy to read format, Becoming a Children’s Author should be on the reading list of everyone hoping to get their children's writing published.

Must have for new writers! [ No Rating ] 13 Apr 2008 (updated 13 Apr 2008)
-Note reviews are posted by Jennifer Reed, not written by her!

Becoming A Children's Author: This book is a must have. The “Basics to remember from this chapter” sections are great summarization. Jennifer Reed uses her knowledge of the children’s writing market to give all of the need-to-know facts while entertaining with humor. This book will be included in my recommended reading list for new and experienced children’s writers.
