    Hey, here's a question of my own: I'm from the UK, and I've just written and illustrated a children's book, and I was wondering, should I stick to trying to get it published over here, or should I try America as well?

    I learned a lot! Thank you. Agents & editors have said rhyming is my strength, so I suppose everyone is different. I've read my fair share of horribly rhymed stories, though, and probably written some in my early days.

    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.
