There are unique issues faced by authors and illustrators seeking to be published, and those already published.
These problems can be compounded and magnified if you are from an ethnic minority.
It can be incredibly difficult for anyone to get published. We would recommend that anyone interested in being published for the first time purchase the Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook. It gives specific information about publishers in the UK and the US, literary agents, as well as general information. It can be purchased from most major bookshops or via A & C Black. It should also be available in the reference section in most libraries.
You will also find information on a variety of organisations that support authors and illustrators in this section.
