To date, I have never once attempted to get anything professionally published--I just write for fun, I write for me, and I write for YWS (because you know you are my addiction).
BUT...I have recently decided to venture into the world of publication. Most of you don't know this because there is no good place to post them on the site, but I write children's books as well as poetry, short-fiction, and novels. I have this one children's story that every time I read I love it more and more called Three Penguins and a Pearl (TPP, because I'm lazy). This I am to publish.
So, from here on I need some advice:
1. I am in need of an illustrator. I am an okay artist, but for this I feel like my mediocre drawings will not suffice. What do I do to accomplish this? Is that my responsibility or the publishing companies responsibility?
2. How do I even go about finding a publisher? Do I look locally or do I go to a big popular company first?
3. What do I do to get them to publish my book (after I find "them", of course)?? A.k.a., how do I 'audition' my book?
