3 best tips for getting a children’s book published in Australia!<\/h1>\n
\"Getting<\/a>
Getting a children’s book published in Australia. Top 3 Handy Resources To Get A Children’s Book Published in Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Often I meet a newish<\/em> illustrator or writer who is looking for answers to this question: Where can I find the most relevant and important information that will help me get published? This is the same question I had in the beginning.<\/p>\n

Every time I am queried, 3 top resources immediately come to mind, these I believe, are not only helpful; but extremely important when navigating\u00a0 the children’s publication industry.<\/p>\n

Here are my favourite top 3:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Join The Society of Children’s Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). This society is an active group world-wide and a way to make friends in the industry, learn, and access a multitude of relevant\u00a0 information. Go on… go join now! http:\/\/www.scbwi.org\/Registration.aspx<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Sign up for PASS IT ON; a weekly newsletter for children\u2019s literacy news that spotlights a children’s illustrator every week. (Australian based) It can be found on Jackie\u2019s blog: http:\/\/jackiehoskingpio.wordpress.com\/<\/a> <\/li>\n
  3. Buy an updated version of the annual Writers Market book. This version is best: 2014 Writer’s Market Deluxe Edition (Writer’s Market Online)<\/a>\"\" You can sign up online and access updated contact lists for editors and publishers, but I prefer having a deluxe hard copy version that gives you access to the updated database as well.
    \nSign up online:     http:\/\/www.writersmarket.com\/ <\/a>
    \nDeluxe book version:     2014 Writer’s Market Deluxe Edition (Writer’s Market Online)<\/a>\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have any favourite tips on getting a children’s book published in Australia please share and I’ll add them here too.<\/p>\n
