I’m a Newcomer!

My new book Un-Brella has been added to the Newcomers page of The Horn Book. I am excited that the book is receiving some attention and flattered that it is attention from The Horn Book.

Newcomers
The Horn Book is always on the watch for talented newcomers to the children’s literature scene. This page highlights exceptional work by the latest crop of novice authors and artists. All these books were reviewed in The Horn Book Magazine during the last year.

My Little Corner of KidLit

Why would anyone be interested in reading this!?!?. This is a question that I often ask myself after making a post to my blog or just before I erase a blog entry that I have just finished typing.

My experience in publishing for children is relatively small, but it is an experience. Right now I am in the “My first book is out and I hope it is doing well” and “I wonder if there will ever be a book number two?”

“My first book is out . . . “
Everyone asks how the book is doing and I actually have no idea. I think it is doing OK. The reviews were good and it is in 80 libraries. A new question is beginning to form, “What does it mean to me for a book to be successful?” I don’t have the answer to this question either. There was a time when all I wanted was to get a book published and then I would be happy. Well, life just keeps going on and now I seem to want more.

“I wonder if . . .”
Book two is not as easy a one might think. Yes it is true that editors return your email and answer calls from you, but they are still looking for a book that will sell. I have had several book concepts rejected, but the emails have been nice and personalized. I am still wondering about book number two, but I will let you know as soon as I do.

That is the view for today from my little corner of KidLit.
