@bolt451@writing.exchange I should add that the money isn't great, though. As much as I'd love to, there is no way I could make a living with this (I have a day job). But according to my agent, there are still a lot more editors for #kidlit in the U.S. than, say, adult fantasy, so more people she can sub my novels to.
But the pace of publishing is very, very slow. It used to be about about a year and a half between contract and publication. Now it's two or three.
I hope this helps!
