Having a children's book published in today's tough market can seem like an impossible dream. But in reality, getting your book idea into shape and into print can hinge on just the right advice from a pro. Do you need an agent? Should you connect with an artist? What about self publishing? In a one-session seminar, nationally-known author Peter Mandel will pass on the insider's tips you need to know in order to create a marketable first book and get it into the hands of exactly the right gatekeepers in the publishing world.

A regular contributor to The Washington Post and The Boston Globe, Mandel is the author of eleven books for children including Bun, Onion, Burger (Simon & Schuster), Jackhammer Sam (Macmillan), Zoo Ah-Choooo (Holiday House), and Planes at the Airport (Scholastic). His titles have been featured in USA Today and the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and translated into Japanese, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and Danish.
