“An honest, realistic guide…. Nancy I. Sanders demystifies the process from pen to paycheck…. [It’s] like having your own personal writing coach at your side." --Aimee Jackson, Senior Editor, Sleeping Bear Press

The tips and advice you’ll discover in this book will probably be different from everything you’ve heard about writing for children. Award-winning children’s author Nancy Sanders teaches you:

Where to look for small publishers who want to see YOUR ideas—and how to connect with them—before you ever write one single word of your manuscript.
How to earn income while you’re learning how to write a story.
How to build and maintain a successful part-time or full-time career as a children’s writer.
Strategies many career writers use to increase their income and pay their bills.

You can get published, learn how to be successful, and earn a decent income as a children’s writer. Not overnight…not for quick cash…and not in a haphazard way. Nancy's advice comes from practical experience in the real world of children’s publishing. As she shares the strategies and techniques that work for her, she encourages you to implement them into your own journey.

Testimonials

“I highly recommend Yes! You Can to writers of all levels. Nancy I. Sanders' commonsense techniques and helpful tips can turn any writer into a success. How do I know? I landed my first picture book contract by applying her methods. If I can, you can, too!” --Catherine L. Osornio, Children's Book Author and Freelance Writer

“Follow the advice given in [this] book and your chances of becoming a published author more than quadruple! I was one of those writers who only wrote when I got an inspiration. Then I searched for publishers who might like what I wrote. Nancy has taught me to get the contract BEFORE I write the book. On my first try at doing this, I was contacted by a publisher and asked to send a partial manuscript. Needless to say, I became a believer! Read her book, follow the advice, and see how wide the doors of the publishing world open for you, too. --Gloria McQueen Stockstill, Speaker and Author of four board books
