The Nitch Witch: Know Your Niche for Writing Success  
HOME The children's and young adult book markets are virtually bottomless pits of opportunity for writers. Book length is generally short and parents who read to their children or young adults who like to read can go through several books a week. Over time, that adds up to thousands of books published every year.

Publishers and editors in this niche market are ALWAYS on the look out for fresh, new ideas and voices. And books that catch on with readers can be reprinted (and generate income) for decades. Think about the stories that you read as a child. How many of them can still be found in bookstores today?

The biggest stumbling block writers have trying to break into this market is not how to write, but how to sell what they write.

The Number 1 reason that most manuscripts are rejected is that they are submitted to the wrong publishers. No matter how good your writing, how creative your story, how convincing your cover letter, if the publisher doesn't publish what you've submitted, you've wasted your time and effort.

The key to improving your chances of acceptance and having your book published is to know your market.
