ABC's of Writing - Verla Tells All

Here's a question I see frequently in my inbox.

I've got a friend/uncle/daughter who's written a children's book. She needs a publisher. Do you have any advice?

And the answer is certainly "YES, YES, YES!" Generally I respond to these queries with links to my favorite writing websites, blogs, boards and books. But the generous Verla Kay has summed up the kidlit process - from start to finish - beautifully on her blog, where she, too, offers links to handy resources. Check it out here:
