Getting Your Educational Children's Book Published
1. Your manuscript must be complete and ready to submit when a publisher expresses interest.
2. Have an expert review the content of the manuscript. The material must be accurate because your children's book is meant to be educational and teach its readers. Ensure that the material presented by your book is correct.
3. Locate potential publishers. Visit bookstores and find educational children's books that are similar to yours. Make a note of their publishers. Purchase a market guide like Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market, or check it out at your local library. Make a list of as many potential publishers as possible because the children's educational book market is very competitive. It can take dozens of submissions before you sell your book to a publisher.
4. Write a query letter that explains the concept of your book. The letter must pique the a publisher's interest because you are aiming to get an invitation to submit the complete manuscript.
5. When you receive rejections, immediately submit your query to other publishers. When you receive manuscript requests, send out the manuscript as soon as possible. Continue you this process until you receive an offer for the purchase of your book.
6. Have an attorney with experience in the publishing industry read the publisher's contract before you sign it. If the attorney gives the okay, sign the contract. If she does not, decline the contract and continue your efforts until you find a publisher who offers an acceptable contract.
