Ever wondered how a children's book gets published? Bank Street College
Children's Librarian Lisa Von Drasek will provide an overview of
children's book publishing. What does an editor do? Do I need an agent?
Is there a market for my idea? How do I submit my manuscript? What is a
book proposal? What is the deal with self-publishing? We will follow the
process of children's book publishing from manuscript to bound book in
the bookstore.
