Hi folks, Jon here.

In case you missed it, on Friday we sent out a special edition of
The Children's Writing Update which featured answers to some of the
most compelling questions we receive, including:

* I have a story I've written for children. Do I need to find
someone to illustrate it before I can send it to a publisher?

* Should I address my query to a specific editor?

* What are the qualities that make a memorable picture book?

* Can I have an adult lead character in a children’s book?

...and more

To see the answers to these, and other, important questions, view
the Update online at http://write4kids.com/update.html

Also, be sure to stop by the CBI Clubhouse to see all the amazing
stuff the Fightin' Bookworms are up to. You can visit the
community anytime at http://cbiclubhouse.com

One more thing -- be sure to follow me on Twitter for bonus tips

Until next time......keep writing!

All the best,

Jon Bard
