Resource Thursdays: Alice’s CWIM Blog

For those of you who don’t know about it, Children’s Writer’s and Illustrator’s Market is the guide to publication in the children’s market.  This book is an annual publication that details the market and how to get started selling books and illustrations.  It has a guide to agents, magazines, and book publishers.  The book also has articles and interviews with published authors that remind you that you too have a chance at publication.  My husband bought me a copy for the holidays last year, and my book has so many post-its and papers stuck to it that it’s grown half an inch thicker.

This gem is edited by Alice Pope, whose CWIM Blog is one of my favorite sites to browse.  Her site is just as informative as the book, often including tidbits about publishers and agents that didn’t make it into the book due to limited space.  The site has blogger interviews, publishing trends, agent bios, conference updates, information about award winners, and just plain fun things.  If you love children’s books and want to learn about the industry, Alice’s blog is a must.
