Self Published Book Discusses Untold Implications of Child Abuse
Author: Michael McCain
Much has been said about child abuse, but even though it continues to be a hot topic in the media and communities today, information that is being discussed and disseminated only comprise a part of the entire picture.
In fact, there is so much more to child abuse than what is being featured in movies and television programs, or what is being talked about in the news or on talk shows.
The lack of agreement on the definitions of child abuse could be a factor why child abuse, among other deplorable acts, continues to be a problem in society. The Xlibris book, About Abuse, attempts to provide a solution to this.
Author Judith Rose’s self-published book presents appropriate definitions and untold information about child abuse. About Abuse stresses the importance of knowing the appropriate elements of child abuse. This way, it will be easier to lessen the plight of those who are victims and potential victims of child abuse.
Children need to be in a place that freely allows them to enjoy and appreciate life, and freely interact with the world. About Abuse also emphasizes that true involvement in the fight against child abuse needs deeper knowing as well as thorough awareness and information.

Bookemon.com allows children under 13 to register and use after get your guardian’s approvement through email.
Try that:

First, you need K-12 certification, and preferably classroom experience.
Then, it depends on what you would like to contribute, and on your talents. Writing and editing? Major in English and develop your writing skills.
Art? commercial illustration.
Knowledge of new media would be tremendous, combined with the K-12 certifiication.
I second the recommendation to take a look at the book “Writer’s Market” for listings on a variety of publishers. Keep in mind you may be rejected by at LEAST a few of them before you are on the road to being published. Agents are really key for getting your foot in the door. They can help move your manuscript past the slush pile and actually get it read. Plus, they negotiate your contract for you (which I wouldn’t recommend doing on your own, unless you are a lawyer!)
Another resource that is immensely helpful is Preditors and Editors. It has ratings for agents, publishers, contests, and more to help prevent writers from being scammed. Check it out:

Good luck!
Children’s Writer’s & Illustrator’s Market has a website that has links for publishers of children’s books. However you can pick up a few books in the library or even a bookstore, and on the publishing page should be the year of publication and the publisher’s address. This is the cheapest and most reliable means of locating legitimate publishers who are still doing business.
The website address should be there as well and on almost all publisher websites is a link to the submission guidelines.
I might also mention the publisher doesn’t have to be in Dearborn. Telephones and the internet connect all over the world.
If a publisher is interested in your story, they could be anywhere. (A large number of them are located in New York.)
Last, regular publishers pay you for your story. (Based on how many books they think they can sell.) You don’t pay them.
If they want you to pay them, then they are not regular publishers. They are what the business calls ‘vanity publishers’. They will print a number of books for a few thousand dollars of your money, or sometimes they also do a POD (print-on-demand) thing. Most writers lose money on those deals, because for one thing the big book seller chains (B.Dalton, Waldenbooks, etc.) will *NOT* sell vanity-published or POD books, so your dreams of selling your book evaporates soon after your money did.
You are then stuck with no money and a truckload of books nobody will buy. What can you do, walk up and down the street, saying, “Pssst. Buddy. Want to buy a book? No? Well, can you spare a dollar? I haven’t eaten in two days.”
SO: Get your story in good shape and try to find an agent who will sell it to a regular publishing house. If they accept you, they don’t charge you either, and will get you a lot more money than you could ever get on your own.
I hope this helps you.
Good luck.
Christopher Paolini was under 18 when he had Eragon published, but it was published through his parents’ company.
These sites will allow you to self-publish. You pay based on how many books you want published. CafePress and Lulu have no minumum. You choose how many books you want printed and you pay the cost to print the book. You select how much the “retail price” will be for each book.
I am not sure if they are age restrictive, but it is the closest to “free publishing” that you will find.

Little Golden Books Publishing
I have. I sent them a manuscript, they informed me there would be no cost on my part if they decided to publish the book. They decided to do so, and wanted to charge me $6,000 to edit it. That actually is a fair price, yet I keep wondering about that no cost to me statement, so I declined thier offer
If you have little money, the last thing you want to do is throw it away on vanity publishing.
Traditional publishers pay _you_.
I recommend you go take a look at the forums at http://www.absolutewrite.com.
Scholastic, HarperCollins, Knopf, and Bloomsbury are all publishing companies, but there aren’t many who accept unsolicited manuscripts/queries. Your best bet would be trying to find a literary agent, but even that can be a very hard process. Just never give up if you really believe in your writing. Good luck!
What is the name of the Children’s Publishing company that had the popular gold-bound books?

What children`s book publishing company do you recommend that is trustworthy??

Can a child, 18 or under, publish a written work through a publishing company?
I went to a popular free publishing company (PublishAmerica) and they state that, legally, any one under 18 cannot publish a book. On this site people have answered “your parents are just in charge of your contracts” or “If your parents do it for you” but they state that only the author can sign the contract. Therefore, I am in a bind. And I know they are correct so far because they use the correct legal system and have evidence, and I don’t see any of the answers here have evidence. So does anyone know a loophole to this or any other sites that will publish my book (for free mind you) with a loophole in the said law. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

P.S. a few of you mentioned Lulu.com. I checked that out long before I asked this, but I want to know if it is reliable. I need to know that they won’t steal my work (cause my story is not copywrighted).
What degree is needed to work for a book publishing company, like scholastic, or random house?
I would love to work for a children’s publishing company like scholastic, but I’m not sure what degree is needed for it. I mean, there isn’t a “book publishing” degree, you know? I was thinking of double majoring in elementary education and literature? Please help, especially if you work for one of these places please give advice!!
