Hmm just came up with something out of no-where that fits this perfectly, but is fan fiction. Off to Buffista Fic 2 I guess..

Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

I'm getting the pig!
I would love to take a look at it, -t. Profile addy is good.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
-t, I'm useless on children's stuff, alas. I can't tell good from bad or saleable from non-saleable; it's a foreign language to me, alas.

Thanks, Nicole, insent. It's in Word, let me know if some other format is better.
That's too bad, Deb. For me, I mean, I would have loved to benefit from your insight.

-t, I just wish I had some kind of handle on it. I don't, though. Fact is, I suck at differentiating.

Word is perfect, -t. I'll read it when I get home later tonight.

Because books.
-t, what kind of story is it? Picture book? Chapter book for learning-to-readers? I'd love to look at it, but I'm more about young adult stuff than anything else (at least writing-wise).
Then again, I know what I like when I read to my kids. If you want to send it to my profile address, I can try to take a look this weekend.

Insent, AmyLiz.
It's a picture book, though I am not and do not have an illustrator. I see it as along the lines of The Quiltmakers Giftfor audience, if that adds any information.
Oh, and it's full on fairy tale, starts with "Once upon a time", ends with "happily ever after", the whole nine yards.

Oooh, it sounds delicious! I just got your email, so I will try to read it tonight after various domestic dramas have been quelled. (And certain picture-book-reading children are in bed.)
Also? Unless you're an illustrator who writes her own text, usually (from what I know of children's publishing), a publisher sets up writers and artists based on what they think will work. So need to worry about that.

That's what I had heard, but it's always good to get that information reinforced.
