Intro to Kids Book Publishing

Intro to Kids Book PublishingIntro to Kids Book PublishingHow do I publish a childrens book? is one of the two questions most frequently asked of book publishing professionals. Publishing practices for childrens and young adult books generally operate very separately from adult publishing, even within the same publishing house. Books for kids are categorized by age range and are often illustrated. Due to these and other factors, there are unique considerations for those who want a career in the childrens publishing industry- whether as achildrens author, illustrator, editor, bookseller or librarian. Childrens Book Publishing Gatekeepers Childrens book publishing industry professionals are gatekeepers for incredibly important customers children and young adults. Kids publishing pros tend to stick with the childrens book specialty, and theres generally bedrngnis much crossover between the kids and adult book pros. Childrens agents, editors, librarians, booksellers, etc. take their following roles very seriously Helping to educate, stimulate and impassion young minds.Opening new and broader worlds of facts and ideas to kids. It is especially important when the kids are from under-served communities, where children without means often dont have access to a wider world than their neighborhood, except through their teachers and school libraries.Fostering a love of reading and books that will enhance childrens life-long literacy skills and serve them their entire lives. Its a proven fact that children who are exposed to books and reading early in their lives read and write better as adults, which makes them more equipped for success in school, on the job market and in life in general. They expect a book to do all that? Absolutely. Writing a Childrens Book Perhaps because so many of us learned to love books as children, a lot of people aspire to write childrens books. It may seem to some wannabe kids book authors that writing childrens books is easier than wri ting adult books, or that its easier to get a childrens book published. Not so, as there is a high bar for getting a childrens book published by an established publisher. Some aspiring childrens book writers may think, There are lots of crappy childrens books out there. I could write and/or illustrate a kids book at least as good as fill in the blank. If this has occurred to you, consider the quote from the amazing Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, co-writers of (among many other things) the screenplays for Shrek, Antz, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Crap-plus-one isnt really worth aspiring to. And its not much of a career strategy.That advice applies to pretty much any artistic career. Therefore, if youre a writer or illustrator who aspires to crack into the childrens literature market then youd do well to learn childrens publishing conventions. Notable Exceptions to Kids Book Rules Book publishers will pretty much acquire anything that involves an already-established animated child rens television character and/or is written by a celebrity because publishers always look fondly on book projects that come with a built-in platform. This is because built-in platforms give the project automatic consumer recognition and increase the likelihood that the book will sell, after all, publishing is a business, So if you own the rights to the former, or can legitimately call yourself the latter, youre probably already in contract for that book. The Childrens Book Market If you aspire to work in some capacity with childrens books, youll need to learn as much as possible about whats already in the childrens book market and where you might fit in. You can start with these recommendations from long-established childrens book agent, Elizabeth Harding.For those aspiring to the editorial side of kids books, interview a knowledgeable, local childrens bookseller. Theyll be familiar with the marketplace and what house publishes each type of book.Kids book writers and illustrator s should consider joining The Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators, which provides a wealth of information, education, and advocacy for its members. Or approach the childrens librarian at your local library, tell him or her what aspect of childrens books youre looking into writing or illustrating and ask for recommended books in the same format and age range.

Stop being so distracted and enjoy the moment

Stop being so distracted and enjoy the momentStop being so distracted and enjoy the momentTheres this idea in Eastern and Western philosophy that we must learn how to enjoy the present moment without getting distracted by the past or future.Ever since the invention of words, the human race has been lost in thought. We are constantly thinking, stressing, worrying, and being preoccupied with a force that seems outside of ur control.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreThats why many of us search for refuge in philosophies that promise us inner calm. Stoicism, Mindfulness, Zen- fruchtwein of us use the teachings to escape our thoughts.We keep on treating the symptoms by using meditation apps, reading comfortable books and articles,getting rid of our devices, and trying the next solution that promises peace from ourselves.Im guilty of this too. Im always looking for new knowledge and inf ormation. At some point, I learned that more information is not the answer.But what CAUSES this state of mind we are in? The answer is our excessive desire. Theres an Epicurean saying that the stoic philosopher Seneca talksabout in one of his lettersThe life of a foolish man is fearful and unpleasant it is swept totally away into the future.Like most ancient philosophers, Epicurus aspired to live a happy life. He aimed for peace, fearlessness, and a life thats absent of pain. He proposed a self-sufficient life.I dont agree with all his views, but I like his perspective on pleasure. Pleasure is not only eating, drinking, and being merry- no, true pleasure is to live care-free.But we live our lives far from it. We are always distracted by something. Thats why its difficult to enjoy the moment.Removing Excessive Desire From ur LivesHere are a few things many of us want to obtainTo live foreverTo have a lot of moneyTo be respectedTo have powerTo stay healthyTo have certain people in our livesEpicureanism considers these desires as an illness of the soul. A soul thats pure doesnt want to obtain anything. It is complete. It doesnt need anything.Its the same concept thatBuddhismand Mindfulness propose. And its a viewpoint we can all benefit from. But how do you practice all this stuff without relying too much on external sources to be happy?Turns out theres a very simple way that we can be more present. We can stop thinking about the past and the future so we can enjoy the present.Rely On Your Own SensesLets do a little thought exercise. When you walk on the street, take a shower, have a conversation, or sit on a chair, what do you do? Think about it. What happens inside your head when youre doing something?Almost all of us perform the activity as a secondary thing. Our primary objective is to think. You can easily detect that by looking at how much you rely on your senses on an average day.Do you FEEL the water on your skin in the shower? Do you HEAR the words someo ne is saying to you? Do you landsee the buildings you walk by? Do you SMELL the coffee? Do you TASTE the omelet?We all know we have five basic senses. And yet, were not aware of them. Were only aware of our thoughts. Your thoughts are stealing away your senses. Ever thought about that?To be more at peace. To enjoy the present. To be less distracted. To be happyAll you need to do is rely more on your senses.Feel, hear, see, smell, and taste life, my friend. Its pretty good. But you already knew that.What about my goals?At first sight, having goals does not match with living in the present. After all, goals are by definition future-oriented. When you set a goal, youre aiming at something in the future. Is that bad?Like everything in life,nothing is good or bad by itself.We tend to turn our goals into a bad thing by thinking too much about them.I dont think theres anything wrong with having the intention to make your life better. And if you think about it, all these philosophers, spiri tual teachers, and sages all had their goals.They wrote books, started schools, movements, and communities. So when some person tells you goals are bad, walk away.Start NowSometimes we need a reminder to be more present.To enjoy our lives and to make the best of it.Why not increase your awareness right now? Do you feel the device thats in your hand? Do you see the beauty of the place youre currently in? What do you smell? What do you hear?Rely on that. And less on your thoughts. Youll find that life will be peaceful. And youll find that you dont need anything to be happy.Life is good the way it is. You dont need to read another book. You dont need to meditate. You dont NEED anything.Its funny how this awareness removes the worry and stress out of our lives. Because right now, at this moment, theres nothing to worry about. Relying on your senses does that for you.EnjoyThis article originally appeared on Darius Foroux.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will ma ke you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

11 Things To Never Say in a Job Interview

11 Things To Never Say in a Job Interview11 Things To Never Say in a Job Interview The hiring manager has already sifted through resumes and decided that they want to meet you. Now its your turn to make an impression. And, unfortunately for you, every sentence you utter during the job interview is going to be a parte of that impression. The best way to prepare for potential embarrassment? Know whats off limits.Avoid these 11 statements next time youre up for a job, and youll be well on your way to wowing your interviewer. While this phrase may be a great addition to social conversations, its leid something an interviewer needs to hear. Instead of sounding surprised that the recruiter asked a question, remember that youve prepared for this interview. Plus, the questions they ask are almost always from a pre-set list . Playing the game of flattering your interviewer is tricky, and should be used sparingly. Get straight down to answering their questions.What is the ti tle of the role, again?Any questions showing your lack of research into the company , the job description, or the industry itself show that you havent adequately prepared. Preparing for a job interview is like preparing for a final exam you need to know your stuff. Theres no doubt its important to ask your interviewer questions, but the questions you ask should be targeted towards information you cant find online what the company culture is like, how the values of the company play out in day-to-day business, etc.Ive actually never done this type of job before, butIf you have a lack of experience, your resume will show it. Theres no need to further underscore your lack of qualifications. In fact, the interview is your chance creatively connect the dots between your resume and your decision to apply for the job. Its where youre able to tell the interviewer why youll be a perfect fit for the job, even if thats not what it looks like on paper.I really cant imagine anyone more quali fied than me.Self-aggrandizing during an interview only serves to hurt you in the end. Since you havent seen the resumes of the other applicants, theres no use in overtly comparing yourself to them. Whats important to learn is the art of the subtle comparison . We all have room for improvement, so be honest with yourself How would an interviewer see you as compared to other candidates? writes personal brand expert Brenda Bence . The key is being able to talk about the things that make you special not just saying that youre special.Absolutely no griping about your last company allowed , unless theres some really special circumstance. Complaining about how you didnt get along in your last work environment is detrimental on two levels. First, it shows your lack of ability to cope with a challenging situation and move past it. Second, the last thing your interviewer wants is for you to be talking trash about their company or employees in the future. Obviously, its important to tal k about past challenges youve faced on the job but critically evaluate, dont complain.This will be a great stepping stone to my next career move.While this may be the exact reason you want this job, its not a savvy move to share with the interviewer. Hiring managers are generally looking for someone who will display a long-term commitment to the company. Instead, career expert Lynn Williams recommends asking questions about your opportunities for advancement in the company. This shows, according to her , that you mean to stay with the company and let them benefit from your developing skills, knowledge, and maturity. Youre not just showing commitment, but long-term commitment.Theres always a better way to respond to a question youre unsure of thansaying, I dont know. Of course, its always important to be humble and not makeup what youre not sure of, but this is where your communication skills come into play. I dont have any questions for you.Having questions prepared for your interviewer is almost as important as being able to answer the questions they throw at you. The questions you ask are an opportunity to display the deep knowledge you have of the company. Thats a really nice watch you have onAttempts to flatter your interviewer will most likely fall short especially in relation to appearance or material possessions. If you really must compliment the interviewer, make it related to something you know theyve done in the business, or even talk about a move the company made that you admired.As in any situation where you want to sound confident, intelligent, and collected cut the filler words. This is also another reason to practice what youre going to say out loud, beforehand, so youre not searching for your words when youre in the real interview. Do people generally like working here?Dont try to beat around the bush. Ask specific questions about company culture and kollektiv morale, and be direct. The best way to get the down low on whats happe ning in an office is to talk to current or former employees there.
