    I was hoping to get some information if possible.
    I have written a children's book (ages between 3-7) and am not sure where to go from here? I would like to contact someone regarding 1. illustration of my book and 2. a publisher who is willing to take it on!
    Can anyone advise me on the best route to take next?
    Thanks a mil :)

    Send to potential publishers. Try and pick one that publishes similar stuff to what you have - browse through books in bookshops and libraries. Send a synopsis and either all of it or just the opening chapters. The illustrator comes later (and is usuall hired by them).

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    You don't need illustrations, the publisher will arrange that.
