    Has anyone got any ideas/ links etc of how to get a children's book published?
    My son has just put a story on you tube of a story he has worked on over the last few years, illustrating it himself as well (called "When daddy dropped the jungle".
    I know I am biased but I think if is great and kids would love it.

    I'm in the process of doing a children's book myself - The Heartless Ghoul and the Great Forest in the Sky.

    Self published an adult novel last year, just finished my second and am sending it out to publishers this month. I might be able to give some guidance.

    Any chance you could take a photo of one of the pages and maybe give me a synopsis.

    Not savvy with technology but attached a screenshot from Facebook.
    Basically about a kids favourite bedtime storybook which his dad drops onto the floor and the animals get mixed up. To try and rectify it they drop it again but it mixes them up even more. They then to again potion on it and it seems to have worked but...!

    This looks excellent. Reminds me of Julia Donaldson's work.

    That's what I said to him and that if David Walliams had wrote it it would be on the bookshelves now

    Ah I misunderstood, changes it a little but I think that's that's compelling pitch too!
