  • Great tips. I'm working on having subplots in my middle-grade books, but feel that the main premise is strong enough to carry it. However, it's good to know that publishers/agents look for those things.

    In addition, with picture books, I feel there is definitely an art to finding the balance between character development, a plot and a message.

    Once again, thanks for the tips.

  • I've just uploaded a rhyming story. Do'h!!

  • Children don't read enough.

  • Rejection is common. You just need to look beyond it. amen on points 1,2,3,4,5,7

    Self publishing is good if you have the money and can market it, but you are right small scale copy shop works fine.

  • This is so true. Probably one more thing to put in there is to be able to take well meaning and constructive criticism like a grown up.
