✨ Connect with the right agents faster
✨ Stand out to publishers seeking your story
✨ Amplify your voice and community

Don’t hold back, your identity is part of the story that makes your work powerful.

ASK JENNIFER: Should BIPOC or LGBTQIA/LGBTQE authors reveal their identity when submitting to agents or publishers?

✅ The answer is YES.
Sharing your identity can open doors. Many agents and publishers are actively looking for diverse voices and underrepresented perspectives.

📌 Tip: Make an 18-month plan that covers writing, editing, publishing, and marketing. Children’s books take time, care, and creativity, but they’re worth it.

Start with the end in mind. Decide who your book is for and how you want to publish it first.

You may not need to hire an illustrator right away, many publishers choose their own. What matters most is having a strong story and a clear plan.
