"Yesterday’s mail brought copies of Hodgepodge, with my poem on the back page, and an acceptance letter from Babybug for another poem! My poems in Shoofly will be out in April. ALL these leads came from CBI! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Anastasia Suen, CBI subscriber. Anastasia wrote this a few years back, after her first brush with getting published. (Wanna see what's happened since? click here!) Anastasia's not alone -- we hear from customers who have used our insights to build successful careers all the time. It's a truly gratifying experience for us to share in their success.

"In a tough market, a writer needs an edge. CBI is the best tool I've come across for sharpening that edge, for both aspiring and professional writers. It's succinct, lucid and information-packed."

Anne LeMieux, Best-selling author of The TV Guidance Counselor...and a CBI subscriber.

"Thank you so much! I can't imagine not subscribing to CBI
and still taking myself seriously."

Lynnmarie May, CBI Subscriber

That's high praise, indeed. But we think we've earned it, by being the most innovative, most useful and most comprehensive success tool ever created for children's writers.

Please allow us to be blunt:

Whether you are a beginner or a pro, if you are at all serious about becoming a successful children's writer, Children's Book Insider is required reading. It's that simple.

There's nothing else quite like CBI. No one gives you more tips, more new markets, more submission opportunities, more great advice than CBI. No one.

In CBI, you won't find articles about organizing desk drawers. You won't see five page stories about "getting in touch with the inner child". And you won't find coverage of adult literature.

You'll just find hard-hitting information-packed articles written just for you -- the aspiring children's writer.

"CBI is the best newsletter around for anyone who wants to write children's books. I highly recommend it."

Patricia Reilly Giff (The author of The Kids of the Polk Street School and Casey Valentine series, Ms. Giff is one of the most popular writers of our time...and a CBI subscriber.)


Here's just a taste of what we cover:

  • NEW MARKETS. The first thing you'll see when you pick up CBI each month is "At Presstime," two pages of fresh and exclusive market news. We'll tell you about new imprints, changes in editorial direction, calls for submission, contests, grants and much more. We use our exclusive network of sources to provide our readers with the hottest leads. And we put it all right up front, because we know your first objective as a writer is to sell. "At Presstime" is the source to find out who's buying.
  • HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK. We extensively cover the nuts and bolts of submitting your work, with information that will make it easy for you to take action. Our Editor Profile series brings you up close to top editors, who will tell you -- in their own words -- exactly what they're looking for and how they like to be approached. Plus, CBI's feature articles cover every aspect of the submissions process -- from formatting your manuscript all the way through signing a contract.
  • WRITING SECRETS. Our straightforward "how-to" pieces about writing give you the do's, don'ts and golden rules of children's literature. From picture books through young adult novels, CBI tells the secrets that can turn rejection letters into book contracts.
  • ADVICE FROM TOP AUTHORS. CBI brings you the advice, encouragement and wisdom of America's top children's writers, through our series of exclusive interviews. Judy Blume, Jane Yolen, R.L. Stine, Gary Paulsen, Walter Dean Myers....these are just a few of the big names that have appeared in CBI. (Apply the lessons these folks have to offer and, who knows, maybe someday we'll be interviewing you!)

Plus there's so much more: legal, tax and accounting advice; emerging technologies such as Print-on-Demand and Electronic Books; multicultural and folktales; the religious marketplace...and on and on.

"Your publication is wonderful. Not only do I thoroughly enjoy the articles in every issue, thanks to one of your leads, I've just been offered a writing opportunity I never would have known about otherwise. I thank you from the bottom of my heart (and my bank account)!"

Sarah Verney (CBI Subscriber)
