Representation of children as published Authors
Have you ever wondered why there are not many titles written and or illustrated by children in the books market? Well, I have. Since I am an experienced grade school educator, loyal fan, children’s advocate, and now an aspiring book publisher, I felt the responsibility to uncover the answer to this question. At the beginning of my search, I was not certain if there was a significant amount of books in this market niche that I was overlooking somehow as a consumer. It is hard to believe that there would not be numerous published stories from kids, who are indeed natural storytellers. Children are known for their vivid imagination and creativity. I believe that in this immense and broad business of books, there should be a vast representation of this talented and valuable crowd; plus, isn’t it important for kids to read books not only for kids but by kids?
