Barnes and Noble or Amazon

Here is an extensive list of book publishers, as well as literary agents (if you don't have one yet). There are website addresses, so that you can explore each agent/publisher yourself and see what their criteria for working with you is. It also states whether they charge fee or not and give their recommendations on who has been proven not worthy of your time. Good luck!

Childrens books are the hardest to get published and Christmas stories are the hardest of all. That was told to me by an editor at Harper Collins not long ago. Please note - NO publisher charges you any fees unless they are a vanity press or self -publisher. Most of them are either bogus or terribly expensive or both. Barnes and Noble and Amazon dont publish. They are booksellers. Get a copy of Writers Market. They have a childrens book version I think. Look through it for agents who represent childrens' books or for small publishing houses seeking them. You might also consider sending it to a magazine as a story if it isnt too long. C.

Check a copy of The Writer's Market. Its best to use the latest version, but they are pretty pricey, so you can also use the last version from a local library. You may also find some resources at www.thewritersdigest.com. Which is the online site from the magazine. Good Luck!
