If you haven't read Osborne's Abrams Books WHO'S GOT MAIL, you might not understand why a democracy needs a public postal system. Excellent book, and important service. msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2023/05/mmgm...

SCAM ALERT: Victims of the PageTurner publishing scam (whose CEO and VP were recently arrested and charged with fraud), be alert for calls from bogus "law firms" offering "representation" for $1,200 or a similar fee. These are FRAUDULENT. (There's no misfortune so bad a scammer can't monetize it.)

My list of children's publishers accepting unsolicited manuscripts has long been in need of an update. A few publishers have sadly gone but there are still plenty of markets out there. Good luck to everyone submitting at the moment! loutreleaven.com/2010/07/21/c... #writing #submitting #publishing

Additional info: The series is for ages 7–9. The cover will be color. Looking for a commercial style of characters that could translate to the screen down the road. Open to texture, brush strokes, collage, as long as the details are clear.
