What is a children’s book?  It’s more than just a “fairy tale.” It’s all about children’s books in this episode of the AuthorU-Your Guide to Book Publishing podcast with host Judith Briles and her guest Carolyne Ruck.

There are six main areas for children’s books—Board, Picture, Early, Chapter, Middle, Young Adult plus comic and graphic novels. Each has age ranges and page ranges. For self and indie authors, the two areas to usually avoid are Board books and Early Reader books. You’ll learn why.

Editor and children’s expert Carolyne Ruck dive into:

• Myths about children’s book.
• What are the current realities of the children’s market is.
• Why “sensitivity” readers should be used.
• Tips for becoming a children’s author.
• Identifying what groups to get help from.
• Why it’s important to hang out with kids the age authors are writing for.
• Why story time at libraries and bookstores are ideal research sites.
• What the Own Voices Movement is.
