When I started this journal I made an effort to answer every email I received, and for the first year, I was able to. I wish I could write everyone back, but there are times when I just can’t. I do try to get back to those who write me with specific important questions; if you feel that I’ve overlooked yours for some reason, just let me know. (And of course I like you.)

I’ve taken down some of the very old stuff and reorganized some other newer material. You might try using the search function to find what you’re looking for, but keep in mind: not everything made the transition to the new version of the site.

Please don’t. This site isn’t related to my job, so please don’t email me here to send me stuff or ask me advice. There are plenty of other places on the internet that can tell you how to publish a children’s book.

And if you’ve sent a story to my company, please don’t write me here to ask me whether or not I’ve read it yet.

I can’t, but there are places online that can help you look for one. And for Christ’s sake don’t be like these people.

I found a literary agency I really liked.

I have yet another FAQ page at the book site.
