Competition in the kid's book market place is as fierce and as competitive as every other market place.

Is it possible to earn more money composing books for children than you'll be able to writing books for older people? Intuition tells us that since books for youngsters are shorter they ought to be much easier to create and if they are easier to create we really should be able to write more of them in the same period of time it takes to write a novel. Assuming that is true, you still will need to remember that you don't get paid until your work is actually published. And your second book won't be revealed if no one buys your first one.

Bear in mind, the marketplace for these publications contains everything from board books with only pictures in them to fiction and non-fiction for teens. This provides you a fantastic chance to discover your voice and to compose in an area about which you really feel passionate. Write about what you know and really like and you will be a lot more able to captivate your reader than if you are writing only for the money. For many, that pay check never comes.
