There are way too many great sites for me to recommend or suggest in one page. In fact, I blame that plethora for the lack of artwork and/or photos here, there is just too much to chose from. Anyway, here are few websites worth nosing around, in random yet mostly alphabetical order:
Help and resources for future writers of children's books:
http://cwim.blogspot.com This is Alice Pope's blog. She's in charge of Children's Writers and Illustrator's Market book -- the best resource for children's books writers.
www.PublishersLunch.com Find out the latest news on who's who in the publishing industry. Their service is fee-based but they offer daily snippets free in their newsletter. You have to wade through to get the deets on the children's book segment, but the info is worth perusing. Broader insight will serve you well.
www.PublishersWeekly.com Also a broader writing resource but be sure to sign up for their free Children's Bookshelf e-newsletter while you're there.
www.SCBWI.org If you want to write for children and aren't a member of SCBWI, you should be! It's the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Get to know them!
www.underdown.org Harold Underdown's extensive site offers writers resources, help, advice and tips.
www.write4kids.com "Children's Book Insider" has a subscription (pay-for) newsletter but they offer lots of free information online.
www.writersdigest.com/101sites/2007_index.asp# Hear it from the big dogs not just me: Writer's Digest compiled a top 101 list of best websites for writers. Just don't get sucked in to their blinking ads.
Writing Children's Books for Dummies doesn't have it's own, standalone website but it's a FANTASTIC resource for both the beginning and advanced writer. And I'm not just saying that because I'm quoted in it...
 Websites of a few fellow writers that are worth checking out:
www.CynthiaLeitichSmith.com A "portal into the world of literary trade books for children and young adults," her site offers author interviews, writer websites, and reading lists.
www.LoriMortensen.com Lori's twelve books are great resources for the non-fiction reader. Find out how to take her class from the Institute of Children's Literature.
www.MoWillems.com What's not to love? Funny man, funny books, fun fun fun.
www.SalinaYoon.com Salina is a powerhouse! She writes and illustrates so many books (almost one a month!) that she now has her own imprint with Penguin Young Readers Group.
more to come!
