With Children's Book Insider on my side, I went from being unpublished straight to the bestseller list! If you dream of writing for children or teens, this is the place for you.

I coach many writers and I tell them all to join WriteForKids and read Children's Book Insider.
Very current, very practical & great for beginners.
It's invaluable!
