Educational Markets for Children's Writers
|
|
I'm happy to share this resource with you and hope it helps you in your pursuit of publication. I've invested
many hours in developing the list. Feel free to link to this site, but please don't copy my list and publish it
elsewhere. If you know of additions or corrections please let me know. (I'll express appreciation to you here
with a link to your site until the next update.) If you want to be on my mailing list to receive notice of
updates to this list please email me with "Education Market
Updates" in the subject line. I will not share your address with anyone else.
This list does not include journal or magazine markets. It also does not list publishers which only do editorial
or correlation services--for tips on these markets and other writing opportunities I suggest this excellent blog
Writing for the Education Market.
Note: Publishers are listed here in good faith, but I can make no guarantees about them. Be sure to research any you
choose to submit to.
