A directory for children's writers and artists containing children's media contacts and practical advice and information. This 7th edition is completely revised and updated, with a foreword by Quentin Blake and several new articles written by Anthony Brown, Emily Gravett, Francesca Simon, Michael Rosen and David Fickling. Contains information on a wide range of topics with the emphasis on giving the aspiring writer and illustrator knowledge of the children's market in all areas, to help them pursue their careers in this increasingly competitive area. No other guide to writing and illustrating for children does this. 'I wish you all the luck in the world. Don't be a ninny like me, practically giving up at the first rejection. Consult the excellent Children's Writers' & Artists' Yearbook and get going!' Jacqueline Wilson. 'Between the covers of this book is everything you need to know to get published' - Julia Donaldson.
