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

Hello everyone , firstly I hope you are all keeping well and being creative. 
 

I am a screenwriter and have several scripts with known directors and producers with connections to Universal and Netflix etc. I sold seven scripts last month alone that are now making major offers of Hollywood stars. I am searching for an agent that can help me deal with contracts and get scripts to those that are unsolicited. I have done well getting contacts and scripts up till now but think it’s time to be represented. 
 

thank you all 

Do you find it difficult to name your characters so that they feel real? I find it hard sometimes to find a name to suit my characters and would spend time trying to find the right name to suit my characters. What is your process for naming characters?

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.
