The book was okay, but I guess I expected more info than I received from reading it.
AN ESSENTIAL BOOK FOR CHILDREN'S WRITERS February 14, 2009
Barbara B. Wallace (McLean, VA)
With 25 published books (and a few awards thrown in), I thought I probably knew all I needed to know about writing books for children. How wrong I was! I happened accidentally to find THE BUSINESS OF WRITING FOR CHILDREN WHILE BROWSING AMAZON, and thought to myself, "Why not?", and ordered a copy. It was the best idea I've had in a very long time. I KNOW this book is going to help me with further books, and with the market as tough as it's getting to be, I think we writers and wannabe writers need all the help we can get. I can't recommend Aaron Shepard's book highly enough. Run, don't walk, to the nearest order form, and order a copy. You won't regret it! - Barbara Brooks Wallace, who wrote PEPPERMINTS IN THE PARLOR, and other books.
Everything I'd hoped for, and then some! August 23, 2008

This is an excellent book for aspiring writers who want to publish a children's book, rich with advice and seasoned with experience.
I found it to be thorough, honest, and enormously helpful. Not only does it contain all the information I was looking for, but it also contains answers to questions I hadn't thought of... plus lots of helpful hints.
My copy of it is already "marked up" (the highest sign of appreciation for any book of mine) with notes and high-lightings. I've already read it twice and I know I'll be reading it again.

All the other books like this are 1000 pages of self-indulgence by their authors. Aaron Shepard keeps it short and to the point.
