Hello Ruth,
Have you looked into a membership with the Canadian Children’s Book Centre? This organization has a number of resources that might be useful to you, including Get Published: The Writing for Children Kit. The kit includes A Guide to Getting Published – practical advice on submitting manuscripts, and a list of Canadian publishers currently accepting unsolicited manuscripts:
You don’t have to be a member to purchase the kit, but a membership would include a subscription to their quarterly magazine and monthly newsletter. Trends are constantly changing so these publications would be very helpful to you in terms of keeping current with the Canadian children’s book scene. Now that we are retired from the book making business we are pretty much out of the loop.
Another organization you may consider joining is CANSCAIP, the Canadian Society of Authors, Illustrators and Performers:
CANSCAIP is a friendly and supportive community for beginning and experienced writers. They have a newsletter, regional monthly meetings and an annual conference. The meetings and conference are great places to network as they are often attended by the very people you need to connect with, publishers and editors.
Hello. I was wondering where I can buy cards of “Corey on the Job in New Minas”. I have tried a few of the stores listed in the Grapevine, but with no luck. Sue
Hello! My name is Carla Mont and I am writing to you today from the content team at Destination BC. We have produced a story for HelloBC to celebrate BC authors and their books for Read-a-Book-Day in September, and we have included Waiting for the Whales, which features your work. Am I able to email this to you for your review?
Very nice website. I haven’t looked at it all yet, but I will!
We’ll put you on our friend’s link as well, and thanks!
Good Luck, Ron and Marcia Stacy
