JacketFlap Awesome Writer's Resource

Hello everyone!

Today I want to talk about JacketFlap, a wonderful site I came across--one that is sure to be an invaluable aid to writers of children's books, those who are trying to get a kid's book published and anyone thinking of trying to break into the children's book publishing industry, whether as an author or an illustrator.

At JacketFlap you join with other writers, illustrators, and publishers. You can read book-related blogs and find the best publisher/illustrator for your children's book.

Membership is free and you can easily set up an author profile that showcases your work, any related pictures and videos, and announces upcoming events such as book launches/signings. You can add relevant links to your sites and even add your blog feed so your latest blog posts show at JacketFlap.

• Take a look at my author profile. I recently set this up and am very pleased with the results.

• Notice the Publisher database, which gives you the gen on over 32000 children's book publishers. This is especially helpful for those looking for publishers who are willing to work with new authors or for publishers who publish titles that match the category of a written work.

• Do you enjoy workshops? You can find all writing-related material on JacketFlap.

JacketFlap is an indispensable and comprehensive resource revolving around the children's book industry. To quote: Thousands of published authors, illustrators, librarians, agents, editors, publicists, and publishers visit JacketFlap every day.
