Hi Thomas - just stepping out into the world of submitting rhyming picture books. Been writing rhyming verse for a while, and published my own collection last year (www.conradburdekin.com). Wondered if you knew of a complete list of agents / publishers in the UK who will accept submissions of rhyming picture books? Really enjoyed your insights. Thanks so much. Conrad
A fascinating insight, completely upstaged by the adorable picture at the top! (and don't tell me I'm biased!)
ReplyDeleteI'm giving a talk on picture books next month. Very helpful. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCaroline, Good luck with that talk. I'm glad you found these posts useful.
ReplyDeletePicture books aside - that was the best description of anapaests and dactyls I have EVER read!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL boy, btw, and haven't I seen that blanket somewhere before?
Thanks, Rachel. He is a beautiful boy, when he isn't raising hell:)
ReplyDeleteI like that blanket, so it's possible I've used it somewhere before. I'm thinking of adopting it as my superhero cape.
Crochet Man!
Hi Thomas, Nice series of posts on rhyming picture books. (Enjoyed the HP cover post too).
ReplyDeleteI've just submitted my rhyming picture book manuscript and I think it follows most of the advice here. Hoping for the best!
Thanks, Abraham -- I'm glad you found them useful. Good luck with your ms!

ReplyDeleteHi, Conrad. Thanks for commenting. The best list I know of is the Writer's and Artist's year book:
