Any tips and advice on how to get a children's story and picture book published?

Luck, persistence, networking, decent writing, Unhindered by defeat, the text can be read by/understood by/enjoyed by children once they CAN read it, some kind of hook such as great illustrations that accompany the story line, a publisher of course, but don't hold your breath. At 1500 plus submissons a week, you may be on the bottom of the pile for a very long time, OR if read and you are fortunate enough to get a rejection notice,,, take it as a compliment that at least the story was read.





12 Sesame street stories, long ago, still enjoy childrens works.





Take a lesson from stories like ';Good Night Moon'; and Polar Express'; to name two.





Seek out the smaller houses, and those that are strictly devoted to material for children. Start with features, submitted to magazines.





Be innovative, but not abstract, follow the standards/classics and safety in them.





Get copies of Writers Digest, and scan the classifieds in the back, looking for submissions.

    Hi, I'm Anderson from UK,
    All this is a post about herbal medicine and spell casters and fake scammers are trying to raise money in the name of cure HIV and when you contact them, they will ask for your name, picture, country, phone number, occupation, and when you have given them all the information, they will ask for money. I was once suffering from HIV and I spent a lot of money going from one doctor to another grass, but they are all a scam and take my money until I came into contact with this powerful one called Dr. OSAS, who treated me with HIV its herbal medicines after doctor OSAS completed preparations for herbal medicine, he asked me to send him my address, so that he would send me a herbal medicine via DHL, so I did. 2days later, I received a herbal medicine and I had to follow the instructions he gave me about how I'm going to use it. 2weeks later, I went to the hospital for testing and in accordance with the test done by the doctor Frank She said that I was cured.
    So the audience to be wise and be careful of fake spell casters and fake herbal doctors, they are all over the internet trying to steal from the poor. I will drop you a letter, this powerful herbal doctor, just in case you want to contact them for help. DOCTOROSASHERBALHOME@gmail.com or you can call him through his mobile phone number +2348112252378
