Happy to read it and learn what publishers are still accepting unsolicited manuscripts, what a character name does to your stories, and what to do to keep records of simultaneous submissions and where and when you sent things to check back on when to move on. Lots of very useful information.
Some helpful information of course, but nothing that I didn't already get from the regular Writer's Market in greater detail. I was also disturbed that there was an entire chapter about writing GLBTQ Characters for children. Okay, touch on it, of course, it's the world we live in, but an entire chapter? Really?
An absolute must read if you are interested at all in writing children's literature. I am a changed woman.
I contributed an article: "What's in a Name? Maybe More than You Think!"
