2012 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market,
This review is from: 2012 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market (Paperback)
This is an excellent resource that includes numerous articles for novice and experienced writers and illustrators. Of course it also includes details about book and magazine publishers, agents, conferences, and contests. Any of these alone would make it worth the price, but the free year of access to WritersMarket.com makes it an exceptional value. (Now, I want all the other 2012 Markets.)

"Age Level Index", "Photography Index" missing,
By Audrey Hepburn "Holly" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 2012 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market (Paperback)
I just received "2012 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market", but the "Age Level Index" and "Photography Index" are missing. The chapters "How to use CWIM" and "Book Publishers" both refer to these indexes, but they do not appear in the table of contents and they do not seem to exist at the end of the book. There is a "Subject Index" and an "Editor Names Index" at the end of the book and both of these indexes appear in the table of contents as well.I am not a photographer, but the "Age Level Index" would have been of use to me (I eventually just compiled the list myself but it took some time). It is possible that this is just a problem in my copy, however because these indexes do not appear in the table of contents I do not think that this is the case. Has anyone else noticed the problem? The book is very useful otherwise although it seems like it is geared more towards YA novel writers with less content for picture book author/illustrators, like myself. That hardly comes a surprise, however as it seems the market trends in that direction. Best of luck to everybody! 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful

Writers AND Illustrators?,
By HGM - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 2012 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market (Paperback)
I have been a reader of the CWIM for many years. It is one of the most useful guides on the market for the industry. However this year I must express a little discontent. If you are interested in writing for middle grade or YA authors the content is very much geared for you and you'll find abundant interesting articles to help you on your way. For established writers, interesting insights into the careers of peers. The market guide section and awards were up to date and relevant. The publisher's section shrinks yearly, for obvious reasons, and it hardly seems worth including publishers who no longer accept submissions. There are many publishers not included. Is this their choice or CWIM's I wonder?My concern is for the content directed at illustrators and author/illustrators. The PB market is not dead! The rise and rise of the app and ebook is with us! And yet not one full interview with anyone from the illustration industry. With all the fabulous talent in the USA that's amazing! How relevant it would have been to hear from an app company on the developments of ebook illustration. Or illustrators who do magazine work, or book covers or illustrated novels or chapter books! Aside from a short piece in the 'new books' section it was a poor showing for illustration. For new illustrators trying to break into the industry, who are most likely to buy the CWIM, I suggest they buy the book for the market guide and they can learn how the industry works from the articles. There IS a lot of good information, but if you want to know more about children's illustration - join the SCBWI, read The Horn Book and search out online blogs. Disappointed illustrator. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful

Basic Children's Book info,
By roseclare - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 2012 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market (Paperback)
This book is essential if you're interested in writing or illustrating for children. That being said, I do think the book is slanted toward YA and middle grade authors. I am a beginning picture book illustrator so the articles in the book aren't that helpful to me. But if you're a YA or chapter book writer definitely get the book! Mainly I will be using it for the agent and publisher listings.With the purchase, you receive one year of online subscription to Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market. |
