There is so much advice on the internet about writing children's books. And the best of it? It's often very good advice! Or at least inspirational. So our tips mentionned below, are certainly not exhaustive. It's just tips that caught our eye or lingered longer in our thoughts than others. Feel free to add to our mish mash. Question to ask yourself: Is your first sentence the best it can be? Does it tickle people's curiosity? Does your main character (if any) have 'character'? Old shoes and wet socks?

How our Critique Group works. We work in cycles of 2 weeks. Every two weeks, everyone gets to send in 1 story and is asked to critique 2 stories. The story that is sent in, is either a new story, a revision of a former story or the same story as in the last cycle. If it's the same story as in the last cycle, this simply means that you get new critiquers allocated to your story. From a practical point of view:. Everyone sends me the story they would like to have reviewed by Friday (bi-weekly). Agents whic...

List of Picture Book Agents. Quite a number of sources on the web allow authors to search for agents. However, some don't distinguish which types of children's books certain agents are still looking for and others only mention a limited list of picture book agents. In this section, we try to list a number of agents that still seem interested in acquiring new picture book authors. I still have a number of names on my files and will add over time :-). Picture books, childrens books, writers, critique group.

Then one day, as I was tidying up, I found an old box with countless little texts I had scribbled over the course of my life. I realised that writing had always been a passion for me and I wondered how I could have forgotten for so long. The truth was of course that I hadn't, I had only stopped collecting those scribbles. After all, all my colleagues had said the stories were really very cute. So, falling back into an attitude working life as a financial analyst had taught me, I decided to research w...
