In my research to gain knowledge about the children’s publishing industry, I visited book stores, read online articles, and purchased a copy of the Children’s Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook. As a rookie entering the publishing world, I needed to understand how the market functioned in order to plan the upcoming process properly.
