** VERY IMPORTANT TIP ** Never Blindly Submit anything, you must always do the proper research on each Company, Publisher, Agency, Art Department or Editoral Department you are submitting to because some of them have very specific guidelines.
The best resources are found in the "Artists and Illustrator's Market" and in the "Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market" Books.. or if you have a web address, to go directly to thier website and check out thier catalogs and submission guidelines. |
