Im new to this. So can anyone recommend a good children's picture book literary agent, or a publishing house for the above. UK based preferably.

Thanks in advance

Geoff

Long story short - In Spring 2017 my 2yr old daughter gets cancer. My partner and I enrich her imagination throughout treatment to keep her spirits up.

Much of the silliness we concocted forms the basis for a picture book that I set to work on and, after 3 years, have now completed.

The book is designed to appeal to all kids, but to have extra meaning to kids in hospital (and their parents) giving them a little bit extra courage and hope.

If I have to self publish, I will. But I first want to try and get an agent, publisher, yadda, yadda.

Hi, Julie Jones here, a new member on this site.

I am currently writing my first non-fiction book and have recently acquired a non-fiction writing qualification for the Manchester Writer's Bureau.

I am working from 30 years of journals and knowledge gained over 30 years of interest in Israel and Palestine.  My book covers the period from British Mandatory rule to today. 

I've had several pieces of flash fiction (and 2 cartoons) accepted for the anthology "Stranger(s) In A Strange Land", which will be published in digital format. Is anyone else interested? No monies, as all profits will go to volunteers who work with refugees. (And refugees are the subject for submissions.)

Am I allowed to give a web-site address and/or a Twitter account here? (I've been away, so am not sure of the rules - somebody please reply!) If not, I could send you the details in a private message.

After an absence of several years (due to a variety of causes, including having my e-mail account hacked - leading to TWO laptops being put out of commission; also a long trough in my bi[polarity ]cycle), I've returned to work... as a writer, an editor, a translator, and a publisher. My "publishing hut" is currently undergoing a complete make-over. It's "breaking and entering" into the digital market.

So here I am, back on W&As, as well. I'm keeping busy (there's lots of work in converting past titles into digital format), but I'll try to look in here now and then.
