I need help getting my children's book published

I have talked with a couple of publishing companies, but they wanted me to send them money. I want to make money from my book not lose money. Can someone help me please?

It's harder than you think!
by: Steve B. (webmaster)

Time to learn the difference between publishing and self publishing! Those "publishers" who want you to pay them aren't real publishers. (Though many authors do choose to self publish rather than chase a publishing contract.)

A lot of us want to make money off our writing, but making that happen means getting realistic about what it takes! Do you have reason to believe that your children's book is good enough to be published? There's a lot of competition out there.

You'll find a lot of resources on this site. I suggest making use of them!

Hello,
Congratulations on your writing! I wish to write my own soon. First thing I recommend and this comes from an inexperienced writer but an experienced individual. Never Pay Upfront For Anything ! Especially a Service! Not when it come to your material for sure! Be patient and read through this site and make sure you have a clear understanding of the hurdles that you will need to overcome. Options are always available in every situation. Make sure you understand yours!

Thanks for posting and good luck!

I really need a publisher
by: Nonna

I do not want to self publish. My product is great and will sell! I just need to get it out to the public. Who can help me? Yes, I've had some rejections but who hasn't....
Is great and will sell
by: Steve B. (webmaster)

Hmm, Nonna. In all honesty, I'm wondering how you're so sure.

Those rejections were presumably from publishers who either thought the manuscript wasn't great enough or wouldn't sell. (Or both.) There is also the possibility that a publisher can pick up a book and still NOT manage to sell it.

I've been in the writing business long enough to know there are very few sure things. I'm wondering if you've received much in the way of professional feedback.
