When working on a story for children do you find it more fun to unravel the history and personalities of your characters at the beginging of the story or through out and let the children find the clues?

Hi James,
Technically, all your work is copywrited as soon as it hits the page, but in a court of law, you are better off with the bonefide thing. You can send in everything you've written to the copywrite office once a year and for 30-some dollars have it all copywrited. You don't have to send in each individual piece. Here, I would worry more about having your work considered published once posted. Many publishers want first rights and if it's been published, that's something you can't give. Also, if you're interested, I can recommend my illustrator, who is also an agent and might do you a pretty good deal. She's illustrating the first of a series for me as we speak. Drop me a line on my page if you'd like that information. Angel1

I have just completed a childrens book, or at least the writing end of it. I just need to get it illistrated and get the cover work done. But I never realized how expensive it is to do.

Also since this is my first real book I want to put out for publishing, I worry about putting it out there for editing and such. I thought about posting it here, but I am unsure about doing that.

It is a simple rhyming book, for ages 2-8. any suggestions?
