But, writers, don't despair. There's just as much for you here as ever, starting, of course, with the invaluable listings--everything from publishers to contests. The tips from industry insiders continue to discourage alphabet books, anthropomorphism, and preachiness; those same sources seek books concerning multiculturalism, the mentally and physically challenged, and emotional intelligence. Katie Davis (Who Hops?) tells how best to submit a picture book, and Kathleen Krull (Lives of the Presidents) recommends nonfiction as the best way to "get one's writing 'foot' into the publishing 'door.'" As always, we are cautioned not to write down to young adults and children. And writers are counseled not to neglect the rich resources of the local public library. "Immerse yourself in the best children's literature," recommends Richard C. Owen Publishers. "Cultivate the company of librarians," adds Kathleen Krull; they "will tell you the many subject areas where they can't fill requests." --Jane Steinberg
