Up-To-The-Minute Market Report: Market and Submission Trends in Children’S Publishing
UP-TO-THE-MINUTE MARKET REPORT: MARKET AND SUBMISSION TRENDS IN CHILDREN’S PUBLISHING Prepared for SCBWI Summer Spectacular – August 1, 2020 by Deborah Halverson A snapshot of the current acquisitions environment in children’s publishing, including the effects of the pandemic on market trends and submission and acquisitions trends in publishing houses and literary agencies. reating a snapshot of an industry as rich as children’s publishing is always an ambitious task. Doing so during a pandemic and a major C national cultural movement feels Herculean. Nonetheless, it is a task worthy of attempt. Writers and illustrators create books with publication in mind, if not centrally so, and understanding the marketplace and industry in which they strive for publication is important. I interviewed a dozen professionals across the industry—agents and editors, plus experts in marketing, supply chain, and statistical analysis. All told me, in one form or another, that the current health of our industry is “a mixed bag,” and that the industry will never be the same, in ways both good and bad. To a person, they all believe this industry—which has proven resilient through difficult times as recently as 2008’s Great Recession, and with its audience of young people turning to books for comfort, inspiration, entertainment, and enlightenment—is as essential as ever. This Market Re- port looks at that mixed bag, humbly offering a snapshot of where we are now, four-and-a-half months into the U.S.’s engagement with the pandemic. There will be shades of our pre-pandemic 2019 industry herein, and informed musings about an admittedly unpredictable future. -

a loss beyond words. Your school library, your community. School libraries are much more than literacy centers. They serve as a safe environment to explore and learn, access new information technologies, and collaborate with peers. When a school library program is destroyed by a natural disaster, the students and the community feel the immediate loss of a valuable resource that reaches far beyond books. Since 2006, the American Association of School Librarians, with funding from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, has given more than 1.5 million dollars in grants to over 150 school libraries across the country affected by natural disasters.
