THE BUSINESS OF CHILDREN?S PUBLISHING


?I?ve got the idea, now what do I do with it?? Many people involved with children and books feel they could publish a children?s book. But it is a long journey from idea to bound book. How to make the journey?

The Center for Children?s Literature at Carthage College, Kenosha, WI., is sponsoring a conference that will present eight speakers currently involved in children?s book publishing. Authors Gary D. Schmidt and Jan Greenberg will talk about their journeys. Illustrator Timothy Basil Ering will describe his.

In addition, a publisher, a marketing manager, an editor, an art director and an agent will also describe their roles in the process of making a book. Large group presentations, question/answer sessions and optional box lunches with the speakers in small groups will make up the schedule.

Friday, October 17 (beginning at 9 am) and Saturday, October 18 (finishing at 3 pm) in Hedberg Library on the campus, aspiring authors and illustrators, teachers, librarians, and parents can interact with the speakers, on either, or both of the days. Registration information is available by calling (262)552-5480 or going to www.carthage.edu/childliterature.
