I get a lot of questions about how the children’s publishing process actually works from people who would love to participate in it. So here is what I know.

One of my favourite series, Librarian Fight Club is where we work through problematic elements of kidlit.
“Alessandra Requena, the author behind the equally hilarious The Boy Who Cried Poop, has a genuine gift for finding the comedic potential in the way children’s minds actually work – the absolute internal consistency of a logic that makes complete sense from inside it and no sense whatsoever from outside.” -GoodReads
