Getting a children's book published is easy. That is, if you are Madonna, Spike Lee, Jamie Lee Curtis or any other celebrity who decides to give writing for kids a try. For authors without connections and a body of previous work that consists mostly of bits floating around the Internet, it is a bit more difficult.
Browsing through the back shelves of a small-city library one day, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of stories gathering dust, mostly forgotten. For many, this was probably the end of the line.
