Special Links for Children's/YA

Please post any links here that you feel are appropiate.

Verla Kay's Website (AKA The Blue Board): http://www.verlakay.com/boards/index.php

This is probably the biggest board out there for this genre. If you need info on a publisher, agent or the industry, this is where to find it. They have 'response times' for most agents/houses that do Children's/YA so you'll have a good idea of how long it might take to get back to your submissions.

Holly Lisle's website: http://hollylisle.com/fm/

A ton of great info here on writing in general for writers of all levels!

Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/

Need to know the latest lingo and what it means? This is where to find it!

Thanks very much. The Blue Board is an awesome site.

Ok i saw this section over on the AW boards and decided to set one up here. If you know of any online resources for authors and illustrators of children's books - please post them here.

No spam/scams puhlease!
