Getting Published

Erica Verrillo submitted 17 US Children’s Book Publishers Accepting Manuscripts Directly From Writers posted at Publishing … and Other Forms of Insanity, saying, “If you are a children’s or young adult author, you have the option of submitting your work directly to quite a few publishers without needing an agent. While most of these are small to mid-range publishers, some, like Dial, are big names in the industry. As always, look at their catalogs to see if your work will be a good fit.”
