Lately, I've received a lot of requests from writers and artists who want to get published. They think their manuscripts are ready, and their writers' groups agree. Nevertheless, in this highly competitive market, you might want to get a professional opinion from editors who know what children's publishers are looking for. So first let me offer a few excellent sources of editorial services. These sources are also for those of you who know your manuscript needs work:

"Getting an agent is as hard as getting published!" is something I hear all the time, and it's true, which is why I suggested editors first. Once your manuscript is as ready for publication as you can possibly make it, it's time to look for an agent. Here are a few you might try:
LITERARY AGENTS
Brenda Bowen, Children's Book Specialist
Sanford J. Greenburger Associates

McVeigh Agency
http://www.themcveighagency.com
Sheldon Fogelman Agency

This particular page on the Balkin Buddies blog may be updated with new editors and literary agents, so you may want to bookmark this page.
All the best of luck with your manuscript and finding an agent.
